IthaID: 3848


Names and Sequences

Functionality: Globin gene causative mutation Pathogenicity: N/A
Common Name: -α4.2-Q-Thailand HGVS Name: N/A
Hb Name: N/A Protein Info: N/A

Also known as:

Comments: The Hb Q-Thailand variant is strongly linked in cis to a leftward single α -globin gene deletion (–α4.2). The α4.2kb deletion consists of an only one functional α-globin gene (HBA1) in which Hb Q-Thailand mutation occurs. Individuals heterozygous for Hb Q-Thailand are usually clinically asymptomatic and have normal or slight RBC microcytosis because of the linked –α4.2 α+-thal allele.

We follow the HGVS sequence variant nomenclature and IUPAC standards.
