IthaID: 2945


Names and Sequences

Functionality: Disease modifying mutation Pathogenicity: N/A
Common Name: rs368698783 HGVS Name: NG_000007.3:g.47783G>A

Context nucleotide sequence:
GTCTGGACTAGGAGCTTATTGATAA [C/T] CTCAGACGTTCCAGAAGCGAGTGTG (Strand: +)

Also known as: Aγ(+25 G>A)

Comments: The SNP (A allele) was associated with elevated HbF in β-thalassaemia patients from Egypt, Iraq, Iran and China. It is located in the 5'UTR sequence (+25) of the Aγ-globin gene, in a region that belongs to the binding site (5'-GGTTAT-3') of LYAR (human homologue of mouse Ly-1 antibody reactive clone), a putative repressor of γ-globin gene expression. It decreases the LYAR binding efficiency to the Aγ-globin gene. Different studies have shown that in β-thalassemia the Gγ-globin-XmnI(+)/Aγ-globin-(G>A) genotype is under genetic linkage with β0-thalassemia mutations. Experimental work has shown that the LYAR rs368698783 (G>A) polymorphism is associated with high basal and induced production of fetal haemoglobin in β-thalassaemia patients

We follow the HGVS sequence variant nomenclature and IUPAC standards.
