IthaID: 3076



Names and Sequences

Functionality: Disease modifying mutation Pathogenicity: N/A
Common Name: αααα391 HGVS Name: NC_000016.10:g.101440_492029dup

Also known as:

Comments: The duplication spans about 391 kb and involves the entire α-globin gene cluster, the regulatory region (HS-40) of the α-globin gene and part of the NPRL3 gene, with a breakpoint between 151,483 and 542,029 (GRCh37.p13). Heterozygosity for this duplication defect (6 instead of 4 α-globin genes) associated with a haematologically silent phenotype. Co-inheritance with a β-globin gene defect associated with a β-thalassemia intermedia status.

We follow the HGVS sequence variant nomenclature and IUPAC standards.
