IthaID: 3275


Names and Sequences

Functionality: Globin gene causative mutation Pathogenicity: N/A
Common Name: (αα)ALT HGVS Name: NC_000016.10:g.113194_116554delins39
Hb Name: N/A Protein Info: N/A

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.
