Names and Sequences
| Functionality: | Globin gene causative mutation | Pathogenicity: | N/A |
|---|---|---|---|
| Common Name: | (αα)ALT | HGVS Name: | NC_000016.10:g.113194_116554delins39 |

Also known as:
Comments: The 3361 bp deletion removes only the major α-globin regulatory element MCS-R2 (HS-40 site). In addition, an insertion of 39 bp bridging the deletion breakpoints was observed possibly resulting from a complex rearrangement involving two fragments of DNA from chromosome 3.
We follow the HGVS sequence variant nomenclature and IUPAC standards.
