IthaID: 129



Names and Sequences

Functionality: Globin gene causative mutation Pathogenicity: Pathogenic / Likely Pathogenic
Common Name: CD 33/34 (GTGGTC>GTC) HGVS Name: HBB:c.102_104del
Hb Name: Hb Korea Protein Info: β 33(B15) Val>0

Context nucleotide sequence:
ATTTTCCCACCCTTAGGCTGCTG [GTGGTC/GTC] TACCCTTGGACCCAGAGGTTCTT (Strand: -)

Also known as:

Comments: Deletion produces the phenotype of dominant beta thalassaemia. The β33 Val (B15) and β34 Val (B16) are essential for the α1 and β1 subunit interactions. It is likely that the deletion of either of the valines in these positions would disrupt the B-helix and prevent α/β dimeric formation and, effectively, functional loss of one half of the β-globin chains. No abnormal haemoglobin was detected on Hb electrophoresis or by the heat denaturation or isopropanol stability tests.

We follow the HGVS sequence variant nomenclature and IUPAC standards.
