Also known as:

Comments: Found in a female with ATR-16 syndrome (monosomy of 16p13.3 chromosomal region) and α-thalassaemia presented with only microcytic anaemia. She otherwise normal. DNA sequence analysis shows telomeric repeats directly joined to the unique sequence. There is a 3 bp ambiguity, suggesting a minimal telomerase-binding site contributed to the stabilisation of this breakpoint by addition of a telomere. The last unique base is position 308543 bp (coordinates: NCBI36 (hg18), NC_000016.8), interrupting the second intron of AXIN1.

We follow the HGVS sequence variant nomenclature and IUPAC standards.
