IthaID: 4115



Names and Sequences

Functionality: Globin gene causative mutation Pathogenicity: N/A
Common Name: 45.2 kb deletion HGVS Name: NC_000016.10:g.171252_216415del
Hb Name: N/A Protein Info: N/A

Also known as:

Comments: The deletion spans approximately 45.2 kb within the α-globin gene cluster, extending from a region upstream of HBA2 to exon 5 of the LUC7L gene. This deletion removes both the HBA2 and HBA1 genes. Initially identified via MLPA, its breakpoints were precisely characterized using SMRT sequencing. It was identified in a heterozygous state, associated with a classical α-thalassemia trait.

We follow the HGVS sequence variant nomenclature and IUPAC standards.
