Comments: The heterozygous deletion of approximately 259 kb includes the entire α-globin gene cluster. It was detected by NGS in the region chr16: 27,301–286,500 (hg38), but the exact breakpoints were not determined. The deletion was found together with α0-thalassemia (SEA deletion) in a lethal fetus with Hb Bart's hydrops fetalis syndrome. The mother and grandmother of the fetus were heterozygous carriers for this deletion.
We follow the HGVS sequence variant nomenclature and IUPAC standards.
