IthaID: 4020



Names and Sequences

Functionality: Globin gene causative mutation Pathogenicity: N/A
Common Name: 14.9 kb deletion HGVS Name: NC_00016.10:g.168803_183737del
Hb Name: N/A Protein Info: N/A

Also known as:

Comments: A 14.9-kb deletion that spans the α-globin gene locus removing both α2 and α1 genes. Identified by single-molecule real-time (SMRT) long-read sequencing (LRS) technology. The exact breakpoints were confirmed by gap-PCR and Sanger sequencing.

We follow the HGVS sequence variant nomenclature and IUPAC standards.
