IthaID: 2286



Names and Sequences

Functionality: Neutral polymorphism Pathogenicity: N/A
Common Name: -473 (A>G) HGVS Name: NT_010393.16:g.31478982A>G

Context nucleotide sequence:
TAGGGCTCAGTAAACGTCAATTTCCATAGCATTTCGAGCCTGGATACTGA [A/G] ATATGGGGCAAAAAGCAGGAACATGCCCCTGGTTTGGCTCTTGCCTTCTTGCATTTCCTG (Strand: +)

Also known as: 11943(A>G), c.-201A, rs4499252

Comments: Apparently neutral polymorphism in the promoter region of AHSP (alpha-haemoglobin stabilizing protein). A case-control study revealed a higher frequency of the A allele in β-thalassemia patients in the Iraqi population.

We follow the HGVS sequence variant nomenclature and IUPAC standards.
