IthaID: 3224


Names and Sequences

Functionality: Globin gene causative mutation Pathogenicity: Pathogenic / Likely Pathogenic
Common Name: -90 (C>G) HGVS Name: HBB:c.-140C>G
Hb Name: N/A Protein Info: N/A

Also known as:

Comments: The -90 C>G mutation is a change in the 90th nucleotide upstream the transcription initiation site. Its putative pathological effect is a decreased binding rate of KLF1, thereby reducing the expression of the HBB gene.

We follow the HGVS sequence variant nomenclature and IUPAC standards.
