IthaID: 2539



Names and Sequences

Functionality: Globin gene causative mutation Pathogenicity: Pathogenic / Likely Pathogenic
Common Name: IVS II-3 (+21bp) HGVS Name: HBA1:c.283_300+3dup
Hb Name: Hb SKMC Protein Info: α1 nt 437 - α1 nt 457 inserted between nts 454 and 455 of α1

Context nucleotide sequence:
TCAACTTCAAGGTG [-/GACCCGGTCAACTTCAAGGTG] AGCGGCGGGCCGG (Strand: +)

Also known as:

Comments: The heterozygous form of the insertion produces small amount of unstable haemoglobin (Hb) with no specific effect on Hb level and RBC indices, but double heterozygote with other trait presenting mutations can increase unstable Hb production in a manner that presents with severe anemia.

We follow the HGVS sequence variant nomenclature and IUPAC standards.
