IthaID: 2244
Names and Sequences
| Functionality: | Globin gene causative mutation | Pathogenicity: | N/A |
|---|---|---|---|
| Common Name: | (αα)JM | HGVS Name: | NC_000016.10:48642_132584del |
| Hb Name: | N/A | Protein Info: | N/A |
| Also known as: |
We follow the
HGVS sequence variant nomenclature
and
IUPAC standards.
Comments: The deletion spans 83.9 kb upstream of the α-globin gene locus, extending from POLR3K gene down to NPRL3 gene, including the HS-48, HS-40 and HS-33 α-globin regulatory elements. The precise breakpoints were determined through long-read sequencing. Gap-PCR and Sanger sequencing confirmed the breakpoint. Heterozygosity occurs with α-thalassemia trait, while co-inheritance with α0-thalassemia occurs with Hb Bart's hydrops fetalis.
