Names and Sequences
| Functionality: | Globin gene causative mutation | Pathogenicity: | N/A |
|---|---|---|---|
| Common Name: | 44.6 kb deletion | HGVS Name: | NC_000016.10:g.144215_188841del |
| Hb Name: | N/A | Protein Info: | N/A |

We follow the
HGVS sequence variant nomenclature
and
IUPAC standards.
Comments: The deletion spans 44.6 kb on the α-globin gene cluster removing both of the duplicated α-globin genes, while the upstream regulatory element HS-40 is left intact. Breakpoints were localized to positions 193637-199336 at the 5' end, and positions 237170-256305 at the 3’ end (hg19) using MLPA. Deletion breakpoints were determined by array comparative genomic hybridization.
