IthaID: 2568



Names and Sequences

Functionality: Disease modifying mutation Pathogenicity: N/A
Common Name: FD duplication HGVS Name: NC_000016.10:g.55826_(185840_187594)dup

Also known as:

Comments: A complete duplication of the α-globin gene cluster on the other allele spanning a 175 kb region from the telomere to the 3′HVR downstream of the α-globin genes. This duplication defect in addition to a anti-3.7 triplication, brings the expression of the α-globin genes from the normal 4 to a total of 7, explaining the severe-intermediate status of this patient.

We follow the HGVS sequence variant nomenclature and IUPAC standards.
