IthaID: 2965



Names and Sequences

Functionality: Globin gene causative mutation Pathogenicity: Pathogenic / Likely Pathogenic
Common Name: CD 89-90 (-TGAG) HGVS Name: HBB:c.270_273delTGAG
Hb Name: Hb Wilde Protein Info: β 89 - 90 (-TGAG); modified C-terminal sequence

Also known as:

Comments: Appears as de novo mutation, in heterozygote state, with severe thalassaemia-like features. Patient presented extramedullary haematopoiesis at the age of 5 and thus requires regular blood transfusions. Predicted to cause frameshift, resulting in an elongated β-globin and a modified C-terminal sequence. Structural characterization suggested alteration of the tertiary structure, as well as of the majority of the positions involved in αβ dimer formation.

We follow the HGVS sequence variant nomenclature and IUPAC standards.
