IthaID: 4073


Names and Sequences

Functionality: Globin gene causative mutation Pathogenicity: N/A
Common Name: (αα)FJ HGVS Name: NC_000016.10:g.39268_130758del
Hb Name: N/A Protein Info: N/A

Also known as: --FJ

Comments: The deletion is about 91.5-kb in length and removes the HS40 regulatory element of the α-globin gene cluster. The proband carried this deletion in the heterozygous state and presented with mild microcytic hypochromic anemia.

We follow the HGVS sequence variant nomenclature and IUPAC standards.
