IthaID: 390



Names and Sequences

Functionality: Globin gene causative mutation Pathogenicity: Pathogenic / Likely Pathogenic
Common Name: CD 93-99 (+21 bp) HGVS Name: HBA1:c.280_300ins21
Hb Name: N/A Protein Info: N/A

Also known as:

Comments: Found in an Iranian family both as a heterozygote (father) and compound heterozygote with -α3.7 deletion (proband and his sister). The proband was investigated for chronic hypochromic microcytic anaemia. No abnormal haemoglobin molecules were detected, hence unstable variant.

We follow the HGVS sequence variant nomenclature and IUPAC standards.
