IthaID: 3996


Names and Sequences

Functionality: Globin gene causative mutation Pathogenicity: N/A
Common Name: 4.9 Kb deletion HGVS Name: NC_000011.10:g.5226187_5231089del
Hb Name: N/A Protein Info: N/A

Also known as: NG_000007.3:g.71429_76331del

Comments: The deletion spans approximately 4.9 kb on the β-globin gene cluster, removing the HBB gene. It was initially identified in a 27-year-old Chinese female with abnormal routine hematological indices using third-generation sequencing (TGS) and was validated by MLPA. The deletion was also detected in trans with another β-thalassemia allele, confirmed by TGS, leading to a transfusion-dependent thalassemia phenotype.

We follow the HGVS sequence variant nomenclature and IUPAC standards.
