IthaID: 163



Names and Sequences

Functionality: Globin gene causative mutation Pathogenicity: Pathogenic / Likely Pathogenic
Common Name: CD 54/55 (+A) HGVS Name: HBB:c.166dupA
Hb Name: N/A Protein Info: β 55(+A); modified C-terminal sequence: (55)Asn-Gly-Gln-(58)Pro-COOH

Context nucleotide sequence:
GGATCTGTCCACTCCTGATGCTGTT [-/A] ATGGGCAACCCTAAGGTGAAGGCTC (Strand: -)

Also known as:

Comments: Found in a heterozygous state in one individual from Maharashtra, Bombay region, during caste screening. The introduction of a nt A between codons 54 and 55 (GTTATG>GTTAATG) results in a frameshift with a nonsense codon at codon 59 (TAA) and premature termination of translation.

We follow the HGVS sequence variant nomenclature and IUPAC standards.
