IthaID: 2155


Names and Sequences

Functionality: Globin gene causative mutation Pathogenicity: N/A
Common Name: French West-Indies deletion/insertion HGVS Name: NG_000007.3:g.57155_80887delinsCAGCAGGAAAGTGAGAAG
Hb Name: N/A Protein Info: deletion of 23728 nts from the δ gene to β gene

Also known as: French West-Indies HPFH deletion

Comments: Found in a heterozygous state in a female with a normal haematological phenotype. The deletion spans approximately 23730 bp and removes both the β- and δ-globin genes with insertion of 18 nucleotides (CAGCAGGAAAGTGAGAAG) in the deletion junction. Found in combination with HbS in the mother (hence, hemizygous), presenting a very similar hematological phenotype except for the presence of HbS.

We follow the HGVS sequence variant nomenclature and IUPAC standards.
