Also known as:
Comments: Found in a four-generation autochthonous Belgian family consisting of six individuals diagnosed with alpha-thal trait. The deletion spans approximately 170 kb and is located between ~0.2 Mb and ~0.4 Mb from the telomere of 16p, leaving the subtelomeric region intact but removing both α-globin genes, HBA2 and HBA1, as well as HBQ1, LUC7L, ITFG3, RGS11, ARHGDIG, PDIA2 and AXIN1 genes.
We follow the HGVS sequence variant nomenclature and IUPAC standards.
