Welcome to the IthaGenes homepage
IthaGenes is an interactive archive of all sequence variations affecting haemoglobin disorders, including the globin loci and disease modifiers and polymorphisms with relevance for clinical diagnosis. IthaGenes stores and organizes phenotype, epidemiology, HPLC data, as well as related publications and external links, while embedding the NCBI sequence viewer in the website for detailed graphical representation of each variation.
IthaGenes currently stores 2850 variations
in 256 genes, regulatory sequences or intergenic regions.
