Comments: Antitermination mutation (TAA>CAA) that permits ribosomes to read 31 codons into the 3'UTR. Loss of mRNA stability as a result of interfering with the pyrimidine-rich element (PRE) in the 3'UTR that provides the binding site for the α-globin poly(C)-binding protein (αCP). The heterozygote of Hb CS is mostly clinically and hematologically normal. The homozygote shows a clinical picture as thalassemia intermedia with mild anemia, jaundice and hepatosplenomegaly. Co-inheritance with an α0 allele leads to Hb H-CS disease which has a more severe phenotype (e.g. thalassemia intermedia and splenomegaly) than deletional Hb H disease.
We follow the HGVS sequence variant nomenclature and IUPAC standards.
