Also known as:

Comments: Reported in trans with the southeast Asian type deletion α-thalassemia (--SEA) in two Chinese probands affected with hemoglobin H disease. Also found in a heterozygous and a homozygous state in family members of these probands. The deletion was detected by NGS and CE, and confirmed by gap-PCR and sequencing analysis.

We follow the HGVS sequence variant nomenclature and IUPAC standards.
