IthaID: 3408



Names and Sequences

Functionality: Globin gene causative mutation Pathogenicity: N/A
Common Name: --60.2 HGVS Name: NC_000016.10:g.147589_207883del
Hb Name: N/A Protein Info: N/A

Also known as:

Comments: The deletion spans approximately 60.2 kb on the α-globin gene cluster. The 5' breakpoint is located upstream of the HBZ gene and the 3' breakpoint is within the LUC7L gene. The deletion removes the entire HBZ, HBM, HBA2, HBA1, and HBQ genes. The deletion is the result of Alu-mediated homologous recombination. The proband was heterozygous for the deletion (Hb:123 g/L, MCV: 73.1 fL, MCH: 21.9 pg, HbF: 0.2%, and HbA2: 2.6%). The 60.2 kb deletion found in compound heterozygosity with -α3.7 [IthaID: 300] in her son, leading to Hb H disease without the requirement for blood transfusions.

We follow the HGVS sequence variant nomenclature and IUPAC standards.
