Summaries for HBG2 Gene

Entrez Gene Summary for HBG2 Gene

  • The gamma globin genes (HBG1 and HBG2) are normally expressed in the fetal liver, spleen and bone marrow. Two gamma chains together with two alpha chains constitute fetal hemoglobin (HbF) which is normally replaced by adult hemoglobin (HbA) at birth. In some beta-thalassemias and related conditions, gamma chain production continues into adulthood. The two types of gamma chains differ at residue 136 where glycine is found in the G-gamma product (HBG2) and alanine is found in the A-gamma product (HBG1). The former is predominant at birth. The order of the genes in the beta-globin cluster is: 5'- epsilon -- gamma-G -- gamma-A -- delta -- beta--3'. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

GeneCards Summary for HBG2 Gene

HBG2 (Hemoglobin Subunit Gamma 2) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with HBG2 include Cyanosis, Transient Neonatal and Hemoglobinopathy Toms River. Among its related pathways are IL-2 Pathway and p70S6K Signaling. GO annotations related to this gene include iron ion binding and oxygen binding. An important paralog of this gene is HBG1.

  • Cyanosis transient neonatal (TNCY) [MIM:613977]: A disorder characterized by cyanosis in the fetus and neonate, due to a defect in the fetal hemoglobin chain which has reduced affinity for oxygen. Some patients develop anemia resulting from increased destruction of red cells containing abnormal or unstable hemoglobin. The cyanosis resolves spontaneously by 5 to 6 months of age or earlier, as the adult beta-globin chain is produced and replaces the fetal gamma-globin chain. {ECO:0000269 PubMed:19065339, ECO:0000269 PubMed:21561349, ECO:0000269 PubMed:24502349, ECO:0000269 PubMed:2470017, ECO:0000269 PubMed:2483933, ECO:0000269 PubMed:7741137}.
