IthaID: 3390



Names and Sequences

Functionality: Globin gene causative mutation Pathogenicity: N/A
Common Name: βδβ hybrid HGVS Name: N/A
Hb Name: Hb Palencia Protein Info: N/A

Also known as:

Comments: A β-like globin chain composed of an internal δ-globin fragment and β-globin N-terminal and C-terminal sequences. The βδβ hybrid gene comprises both the promoter region and the IVS-II of the HBB gene, and its synthesis is like that of β-globin. The δ sequence bears mutations that could confer it with anti-sickling properties. It is most likely the result of a cross-linking between a Lepore-type gene and an HBB gene. Detected during a routine health check in an otherwise asymptomatic individual.

We follow the HGVS sequence variant nomenclature and IUPAC standards.
