Hemoglobin Beta locus (HBB) gene mutation analysis for carrier status determination and diagnosis in hemoglobin S and C disease. Source: Regenstrief Institute

The HBB gene (hemoglobin, beta) [HGNC Gene ID:4827] is located on chromosome 11p15.5. The alpha (HBA) and beta (HBB) loci determine the structure of the 2 types of polypeptide chains in adult hemoglobin, Hb A. The normal adult hemoglobin tetramer consists of two alpha chains and two beta chains. Mutant beta globin causes sickle cell anemia. Absence of beta chain causes beta-zero-thalassemia. Reduced amounts of detectable beta globin causes beta-plus-thalassemia. The order of the genes in the beta-globin cluster is 5'-epsilon -- gamma-G -- gamma-A -- delta -- beta--3'.
