Comments: The deletion spans about 6.8 kb on the α-globin gene cluster, removing almost the entire α2 and α1 genes. Breakpoints were determined. A 2538 bp deletion (NG_000006.1:g.35801_38338) existed in this deletion by comparison to the -α4.2, as well as a 29 bp insertion (NG_000006.1: g.34497_34527) into the deletion junction, which was derived from the 3' terminal of the α2 coding gene sequence during the recombination events that led to this deletion.

We follow the HGVS sequence variant nomenclature and IUPAC standards.
