Also known as:

Comments: The deletion spans approximately 80 kb of DNA, extending from the POLR3K gene to the downstream region of the NPRL3 gene. The deletion removes the POLR3K, SNRNP25, RHBDF1, MPG and NPRL3 genes, as well as the MCS-R1, -R2 and -R3 elements upstream of the α-globin gene cluster. The α-globin genes remain intact. The deletion is the result of Alu-mediated homologous recombination. The proband is heterozygous for the deletion with haematological characteristics similar to those manifested with the --SEA deletion (Hb: 109 g/L, MCV: 66 fL, MCH: 20.3 pg, HbF: 0.3%, and HbA2: 2.7%).

We follow the HGVS sequence variant nomenclature and IUPAC standards.
