IthaID: 3393



Names and Sequences

Functionality: Globin gene causative mutation Pathogenicity: N/A
Common Name: 3.5 kb deletion HGVS Name: NC_000011.10:g.5224302_5227791del
Hb Name: N/A Protein Info: N/A
Also known as: Thai, 3485 bp deletion

We follow the HGVS sequence variant nomenclature and IUPAC standards.

Comments: The deletion spans approximately 3.5 kb within the β-globin gene cluster, removing both the β-globin gene promoter and the entire β-globin gene. Heterozygous carriers exhibit a mild anaemia phenotype, while co-inheritance with other β+/β0 mutations results in intermediate thalassemia, leading to moderate or severe transfusion-dependent anaemia, respectively.
