IthaID: 41



Names and Sequences

Functionality: Globin gene causative mutation Pathogenicity: Pathogenic / Likely Pathogenic
Common Name: CAP +45 (G>C) HGVS Name: HBB:c.-6G>C
Hb Name: Hb Odisha Protein Info: N/A

Also known as:

Comments: The β+45 G>C mutation is found in the Kozak sequence of the β-globin gene at the position -6 upstream the translation initiation codon ATG. Found in a family from Puglia, Italy; assymptomatic in the heterozygotes, worsened hematological phenotype and a more unbalanced β/α biosynthetic ratio in compound heterozygotes. mRNA analysis did not reveal transcriptional alterations, while in vitro experiments demonstrated an impairement of translation by about 30% [PMID: 14687034]. Found as a heterozygote in an Indian individual with no information on hematologic or phenotypic data [PMID: 24099628].

We follow the HGVS sequence variant nomenclature and IUPAC standards.
