Comments: The size of the deletion is predicted between 165 bp and 169 kb removing a region containing MPG, NPRL3, and all the α-globin gene cluster, to about 3/4 of the LUC7L gene. The breakpoints could not be determined due to the presence of several repetitive elements. The 5′ undefined region is between position 54,016 up to 55,432, and the 3′ undefined region is between position 220,780 up to 223,388 (GRCh38). The deletion was identified in a family from Puglia and was associated with α0-thalassemia and not the ATR-16 syndrome.
We follow the HGVS sequence variant nomenclature and IUPAC standards.
