Also known as:

Comments: Found in cis with -α3.7 [IthaD:300] in an American Black male presented with mild hypochromic microcytic anaemia consistent with α-thalassaemia trait. The 2 bp deletion in the context of a −α3.7 thalassaemia chromosome reported in association with Hb G-Philadelphia [IthaID:596] in his mother presented with the typical phenotype of Hb H disease.

We follow the HGVS sequence variant nomenclature and IUPAC standards.
