|---|---|---|---|
| Common Name: | -αMAL3.5 | HGVS Name: | NG_000006.1:g.32745_36301del |
| Hb Name: | N/A | Protein Info: | N/A |
| Also known as: |
We follow the
HGVS sequence variant nomenclature
and
IUPAC standards.
Comments: The deletion spans approximately 3.5 kb on the α-globin gene cluster, removing the entire HBA2 gene. The 5' and 3' breakpoints are located at the Y2 and Y1 boxes, respectively, indicating that the deletion likely results from an unequal crossover event between these homologous Y-boxes. It extends from 965 bp upstream to 1728 bp downstream of the HBA2 gene. Detected in a compound heterozygous state with a phenotype of Hb H disease. Initially reported by Hamid et al [DOI https://doi.org/10.4081/thal.2015.467].
