IthaID: 40



Names and Sequences

Functionality: Globin gene causative mutation Pathogenicity: Pathogenic / Likely Pathogenic
Common Name: CAP +41 to +44 (-AACA) HGVS Name: HBB:c.-10_-7delAACA
Hb Name: N/A Protein Info: β nts 40 - 43 deleted

Context nucleotide sequence:
CACAACTGTGTTCACTAGCAACCTCA [-/AACA] GACACCATGGTGCATCTGACTCCT (Strand: -)

Also known as: CAP +40 to +43 (-AAAC)

Comments: Found in a heterozygous state during molecular screening. In vitro experiments did not show functional effects of the genetic variant. Further investigation was suggested. Papers reported a 4 bp deletion -AAAC [HBB: c.-11_-8delAAAC], which does not follow the 3' prime rule of HGVS recommendations.

We follow the HGVS sequence variant nomenclature and IUPAC standards.
