Summary: This genomic location represents the 5' regulatory region of the hemoglobin subunit delta (HBD) gene, which is also referred to as the delta-globin gene within the beta-globin gene cluster on chromosome 11. This region includes the HBD gene promoter, a pyrimidine-rich region termed pyr that functions in developmental globin gene switching and forms non-B-DNA structure, and a silencer region termed R. The promoter region is active in adult-stage erythroid cells, but it has much lower activity compared to the paralogous beta-globin (HBB) promoter due to the presence of a defective CACCC box and lack of binding of the erythroid EKLF transcription factor. Mutations in this region result in beta-thalassemias. This region is deleted in some beta-hemoglobinopathies with adult beta-globin expression defects, including some hereditary persistence of fetal hemoglobin (HPFH) deletions and the Corfu delta-beta thalassemia deletion that results in high levels of fetal hemoglobin in homozygotes.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
