IthaID: 278


Names and Sequences

Functionality: Globin gene causative mutation Pathogenicity: Pathogenic / Likely Pathogenic
Common Name: Poly A (-AATAA) HGVS Name: HBB:c.*110_*114del
Hb Name: N/A Protein Info: N/A

Context nucleotide sequence:
GGGCCTTGAGCATCTGGATTCTGCCTAA [-/TAAAA] AACATTTATTTTCATTGCAATGATGT (Strand: -)

Also known as: polyA (-TAAAA)

Comments: A 5 bp deletion of the polyA signal sequence (AATAAA>A). Found in a homozygous state in an Arab child from Gaza and in a proband from Egypt, both with transfusion-dependent β-thalassaemia major. Found as a compound heterozygote with Hb S in a proband from Nigeria.

We follow the HGVS sequence variant nomenclature and IUPAC standards.
