IthaID: 2302



Names and Sequences

Functionality: Globin gene causative mutation Pathogenicity: N/A
Common Name: -113 A>G HGVS Name: HBG1:c.-166A>G
Hb Name: N/A Protein Info: N/A

Also known as:

Comments: Present in the distal CCAAT box of the Aγ gene. Found in a heterozygous state in one Italian subject with elevated Hb F levels to 6.5%. This mutation does not disrupt the binding of the HbF repressor BCL11A (TGACCA site), but rather creates a de novo binding site for the master erythroid regulator GATA1 to drive γ-globin expression and HbF production.

We follow the HGVS sequence variant nomenclature and IUPAC standards.
