Names and Sequences

Functionality: Globin gene causative mutation Pathogenicity: Pathogenic / Likely Pathogenic
Common Name: CAP +22 (G>T) HGVS Name: HBB:c.-29G>T
Hb Name: N/A Protein Info: N/A

Context nucleotide sequence:
GCTTACATTTGCTTCTGACACAACT [T>G] TGTTCACTAGCAACCTCAAACAGAC (Strand: -)

Also known as:

Comments: Silent β-globin mutation found in a heterozygous state and in compound heterozygosity with the β0-thalassaemic allele HBB:c.92+1G>A [ithaID=101]. Following a pregnancy, the combination of the two alleles led to severe anemia with thansfusion-dependent β-thalassaemia intermedia phenotype.

We follow the HGVS sequence variant nomenclature and IUPAC standards.
