Also known as:

Comments: The 2 nucleotide deletion c.94_95delAG was found on a chromosome that carries the -3.7 kb deletion (-α3.7) [IthaD:300]. The deletion of 'AG' on codon 31 in exon 1 creates a frameshift and premature truncation of the α-globin protein after 25 amino acids (p.Arg31AspfsX25) at codon 55. The in cis variation presented with mild hypochromic microcytic anaemia consistent with α-thalassaemia trait in the heterozygous state and with HbH disease in the presence of Hb G-Philadelphia [IthaID:596]. HGVS name reports deletion breakpoints in -α3.7 (type I) [IthaID: 300] and should be used with caution.

We follow the HGVS sequence variant nomenclature and IUPAC standards.
