Names and Sequences
| Functionality: | Globin gene causative mutation | Pathogenicity: | N/A |
|---|---|---|---|
| Common Name: | 15.8 kb deletion | HGVS Name: | NC_000016.10:g.163886_179768del |
| Hb Name: | N/A | Protein Info: | N/A |
Also known as: NG_000006.1:g.24749_40631del
Comments: The deletion spans exactly 15.883 kb on the α-globin gene cluster as determined by long-read single-molecule real-time (SMRT) sequencing. The 5' breakpoint lies in the HBZP1 gene (Chr16:163886) and the 3' breakpoint lies between the HBA2 and HBQ1 genes (Chr16:179768), removing both functional α-globin genes, HBA2 and HBA1. The proband, a 37-year-old female, displayed abnormal values of routine hematological indices.
We follow the HGVS sequence variant nomenclature and IUPAC standards.
