IthaID: 372
Names and Sequences
| Functionality: | Globin gene causative mutation | Pathogenicity: | Pathogenic / Likely Pathogenic |
|---|---|---|---|
| Common Name: | CD 39-41 (-9 bp, + 8 bp) | HGVS Name: | NG_000006.1:g.34010_34018delinsTACTTCCC |
| Hb Name: | N/A | Protein Info: | N/A |
Also known as:
Comments: A deletion of 9 bp (codons 39–41) is replaced by an eight nucleotide insertion, duplicating the adjacent downstream sequence. It results in a premature stop of α2-globin synthesis at codon 48 (TGA).
We follow the HGVS sequence variant nomenclature and IUPAC standards.
