IthaID: 3720


Names and Sequences

Functionality: Globin gene causative mutation Pathogenicity: N/A
Common Name: CD 1/2 (+TG) HGVS Name: HBA2:c.6_7insTG
Hb Name: N/A Protein Info: N/A

Context nucleotide sequence:
GACTCAGAGAGAACCCACCATGGTGC [-/TG] TGTCTCCTGCCGACAAGACCAACGTC (Strand: +)

Also known as:

Comments: Found in two unrelated individuals. One of them was a 12-month old male infant with reduced Hb 9.0 g/dL, MCV 59.2 fL MCH 17.8 pg. The second individual was a 36-year old woman presented with marginally normal hematological indices (Hb 11.7 g/dL, MCV 80.6 fL, MCH 26 pg). Direct DNA sequencing showed that this mutation was inherited from her mother and her two daughters were both heterozygous for this mutation presented with slightly reduced MCV and MCH. The 2-bp insertion resulting in a completely different polypeptide from the original a2-globin peptide.

We follow the HGVS sequence variant nomenclature and IUPAC standards.
