IthaID: 2124
Names and Sequences
| Functionality: | Globin gene causative mutation | Pathogenicity: | N/A |
|---|---|---|---|
| Common Name: | Caucasian HPFH | HGVS Name: | NC_000011.10:g.5201455_5229279delins5223936_5223960 |
| Hb Name: | N/A | Protein Info: | N/A |
| Also known as: | 27825 bp deletion |
We follow the
HGVS sequence variant nomenclature
and
IUPAC standards.
Comments: The deletion was reported in six heterozygotes patients of Caucasian origin presented with slightly reduced hematologic indices (MCV 77 fL and MCH 25 pg), and elevated levels of HbA2 (3.9%) and HbF (>20%). Is a 27825 bp deletion with a 25 bp insertion, affecting only the entire β-globin gene, whose breakpoints are very similar to the South East Asian (SEA) deletion breakpoints [IthaID: 2126]. Position of the deletion indicate that the Caucasian deletion is more akin to a β-thal phenotype with raised HbF, because of the deletion of γ-silencing element, HS-1 site, at the 3’ breakpoint.
