IthaID: 4058



Names and Sequences

Functionality: Globin gene causative mutation Pathogenicity: N/A
Common Name: --FG HGVS Name: N/A
Hb Name: N/A Protein Info: N/A

Also known as:

Comments: The deletion is predicted to span about 10 kb on the α-globin locus, removing both α-globin genes. It was reported in a family from Foggia as a heterozygote and together with the -α3.7 deletion. Compound heterozygotes had Hb H disease. The exact breakpoints could not be determined due to the presence of several repetitive sequences.

We follow the HGVS sequence variant nomenclature and IUPAC standards.
