IthaID: 3885


Names and Sequences

Functionality: Globin gene causative mutation Pathogenicity: N/A
Common Name: CD 17 (-C) HGVS Name: HBA2:c.54delC
Hb Name: N/A Protein Info: α2 17(A15) Val>Val

Context nucleotide sequence:
CGTCAAGGCCGCCTGGGGTAAGGT [C/-] GGCGCGCACGCTGGCGAGTATGGT (Strand: +)

Also known as: Hb Kunming

Comments: Found in a 26-year-old female presented with slight α-thalassemia phenotypes with hypochromic and microcytic erythrocytes. According to mutalyzer software, the nucleotide frameshift would result in a shortened α-globin chain with a total of 48 amino acids.

We follow the HGVS sequence variant nomenclature and IUPAC standards.
