IthaID: 3327


Names and Sequences

Functionality: Globin gene causative mutation Pathogenicity: N/A
Common Name: --GX HGVS Name: NC_000016.10:g.(41492_43628)_(247888_254167)del
Hb Name: N/A Protein Info: N/A

Also known as:

Comments: Reported in a fetus with Hb Bart's hydrops fetalis that also carried the --SEA deletion. The deletion --GX (Guangxi) covers approximately 204 kb, removing the entire α-globin gene cluster, as well as the HS-40 control region. The 5' breakpoint is located just upstream of the POLR3K gene between positions 91492 and 93628, and the 3' breakpoint is located within the ITFG3 gene between positions 297887 and 304166 (GRCh37/hg19).

We follow the HGVS sequence variant nomenclature and IUPAC standards.
