TGAAGAGCTAGTTCAAACCTT [C/G] GGAAAATACACTATATCTTAAA (Strand: -)

Also known as:

Comments: This variant was described in a cohort of Palestinians with β-thal trait or disease as a possible β+ allele [PMID: 23321370]. Nevertheless, a subsequent study investigating 18 individuals with the HBB:c.*233G>C variant gave no evidence for pathogenicity, strongly suggesting that it is not associated with a β-thal phenotype [PMID: 26524961].

We follow the HGVS sequence variant nomenclature and IUPAC standards.
