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, gamma G) is a protein-coding gene. Diseases associated with HBG2 include cyanosis, transient neonatal, and sulfhemoglobinemia. GO annotations related to this gene include iron ion binding and oxygen binding. An important paralog of this gene is HBE1.

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: HBG2_HUMAN, P69892

Function: Gamma chains make up the fetal hemoglobin F, in combination with alpha chains

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. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented

in this entry
