IthaID: 3277


Names and Sequences

Functionality: Globin gene causative mutation Pathogenicity: N/A
Common Name: 538 bp deletion HGVS Name: HBB:c.-464_74del | NG_000007.3:g.70131_70668del
Hb Name: N/A Protein Info: N/A

Also known as:

Comments: The deletion spans 538 bp and removes the β-globin promoter, 5' untranslated region (5'UTR) and most of exon 1. The 5' deletion breakpoint is at position -464 relative to the translation initiation codon (position +1 is A of the ATG), and the 3' breakpoint is within amino acid codon 26.

We follow the HGVS sequence variant nomenclature and IUPAC standards.
