IthaID: 4083



Names and Sequences

Functionality: Globin gene causative mutation Pathogenicity: N/A
Common Name: -(α)4.9 HGVS Name: NC_000016.10:g.172367_177259delinsG
Hb Name: N/A Protein Info: N/A

Also known as: 4.9 Kb deletion

Comments: The deletion removes 4893 nucleotides within the α-globin gene cluster, extending from 480 bp upstream of the HBA2 gene to IVS I-126 of the HBA1 gene. Characterized by Sanger Sequencing. It can be identified using the multiplex Gap PCR method (PMID: 11439976) with α2/3.7-F and 3.7/20.5-R primers.

We follow the HGVS sequence variant nomenclature and IUPAC standards.
