Names and Sequences
| Functionality: | Globin gene causative mutation | Pathogenicity: | N/A |
|---|---|---|---|
| Common Name: | --FG | HGVS Name: | N/A |
| Hb Name: | N/A | Protein Info: | N/A |
Also known as:
Comments: The deletion is predicted to span about 10 kb on the α-globin locus, removing both α-globin genes. It was reported in a family from Foggia as a heterozygote and together with the -α3.7 deletion. Compound heterozygotes had Hb H disease. The exact breakpoints could not be determined due to the presence of several repetitive sequences.
We follow the HGVS sequence variant nomenclature and IUPAC standards.

The impact thresholds provided in this section are based on the analyses performed in Tamana et.al. For any given tool, the impact thresholds defined for the set of variants with the same effect on function as the variant examined, are preferred over those defined for the full dataset.
