Also known as:
Comments: The deletion spans about 450 kb, removing the entire α-globin gene cluster and the globin distal regulatory elements. The 5' deletion breakpoint was located just upstream of the PolR3k gene (between 91540 - 93628), and the 3' breakpoint was located within the RAB11FIP3 gene (between 536986 - 542759).
We follow the HGVS sequence variant nomenclature and IUPAC standards.
