Comments: Proline in position α117 (H2) is an α helix initiator, involved in the secondary conformation of the α-globin chain. Pro>Ser replacement disturbs the α1β1 contact, which increases the concentration of unstable free globin chains. The mutation also impairs interaction with the α-haemoglobin stabilizing protein (AHSP), which leads to α chain pool reduction and α-thalassaemia phenotype ([PMID: 17052927] for in vitro assay). First reported in heterozygotes of a Moroccan family with a mild α-thalassaemia phenotype. Reported in a number of heterozygotes, homozygotes and compound heterozygotes with the -α3.7 deletion from Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia. Unstable variant characterized by DNA sequencing (several methods failed to detect an abnormal native or denatured haemoglobin). Microcytic hypochromic parameters reported in all cases.

We follow the HGVS sequence variant nomenclature and IUPAC standards.
