IthaID: 144



Names and Sequences

Functionality: Globin gene causative mutation Pathogenicity: Pathogenic / Likely Pathogenic
Common Name: CD 40 (+86 bp) HGVS Name: HBB:c.123_208dup
Hb Name: N/A Protein Info: N/A

Also known as: HGSA

Comments: This insertion consists of a duplication of the immediately downstream sequence, causing a frameshift and a premature stop codon. The predicted protein sequence carries the first 70 amino- acids of the normal b-globin, followed by 19 mutated aminoacids. The resulting polypeptide is thus 58 aminoacids shorter than the wild type. The boundaries of the insertion were found to carry an imperfect splicing sequence.

We follow the HGVS sequence variant nomenclature and IUPAC standards.
