Comments: The deletion spans approximately 107 kb on the α-globin gene cluster, removing the regulatory element HS-40 but leaving the two α-globin genes intact. Detected in a Chinese proband, 30-year-old female, with mild anemia, by third-generation sequencing, after MLPA failed because that the upstream breakpoint was out of probe scope. The exact breakpoints were validated by Gap-PCR and Sanger sequencing. Sanger sequencing confirmed the breakpoint in chr16:44082-151511 (GRch38/hg38), indicating that the deletion was 107,429 bp. The haematological characteristics of the deletion were very similar to the --SEA deletion.
We follow the HGVS sequence variant nomenclature and IUPAC standards.
