Names and Sequences
| Functionality: | Globin gene causative mutation | Pathogenicity: | N/A |
|---|---|---|---|
| Common Name: | (αα)Aurora Borealis | HGVS Name: | NC_000016.10:g.(48303_50379)_ (165612_167685)del |
| Hb Name: | N/A | Protein Info: | N/A |
Also known as:
Comments: The deletion removes the complete regulatory region, including HS-40, leaving the downstream α-globin genes intact. A panel of TaqManVR assays (Thermo Fisher Scientific) distributed from POLR3K to HBM showed that the deletion covered a region of minimum 115.2 kb. The characterization of the exact breakpoints of the deletion was unsuccessful, hence the maximum length is 119.4 kb. HGVS name follows the probe-based HGVS Sequence Variant Nomeclature recommendations.
We follow the HGVS sequence variant nomenclature and IUPAC standards.
