IthaID: 3725


Names and Sequences

Functionality: Globin gene causative mutation Pathogenicity: Benign / Likely Benign
Common Name: -4 G>C HGVS Name: HBA2:c.-41C>G
Hb Name: N/A Protein Info: N/A

Context nucleotide sequence:
GCATAAACCCTGGCGCGCTCGCGGGC [C/G] GGCACTCTTCTGGTCCCCACAGACTCA (Strand: +)

Also known as:

Comments: Found in three unrelated cases (Malay and Indian) presented clinically normal with mild low MCV and MCH and normal HbA2 level. GAP-PCR showed presence of two abnormal bands around 3.7 gene deletion in 2 cases. Recently, the substitution reported in a 17-year old male with Hb 14.4 g/dL, MCV 77.2 fL, MCH 24.2 pg, RBC 5.96 10^12/L and RDW 13.2 % with normal HbA2 value. GAP-PCR showed presence of two abnormal bands around 3.7 gene deletion. Molecular analysis showed the substitution C>G at both HbA1 and HbA2 regions.

We follow the HGVS sequence variant nomenclature and IUPAC standards.
