Names and Sequences

Functionality: Disease modifying mutation Pathogenicity: N/A
Common Name: rs4025935 HGVS Name: NG_009246.1:g.4023_4024delTG

Context nucleotide sequence:
AAGGTATATATGCTCTGGAAAACTT [-/TG] TAATATTGAGTTGGTCTGGTGGTAA (Strand: +)

Also known as:

Comments: The GSTM1 null genotype (rs4025935) associated with HbA1 and HbS levels in sickle cell disease patients from Saudi Arabia [PMID: 27885941]. It is a predisposing factor for cardiac iron overload in β-thalassaemia major patients with low body iron as assessed by lifelong serum ferritin levels [PMID: 18477036]. It associated with significantly shorter cardiac MRI T2* values (hence, cardiac iron overload) independent of serum ferritin levels in Egyptian patients with β-thalassaemia major [PMID: 26288192].

We follow the HGVS sequence variant nomenclature and IUPAC standards.
