GGamma Mutation % Hb F in Heterozygotes AGamma Mutation % Hb F in Heterozygotes
-202, C->G 14.3-21.0 (AF)
18.0-23.5 (SAF)
-202, C->T 1.6-3.9 (SAF)
-200, +C 18.0-28.0 (AF)    
    -198, T->C 1.8-13.0 (AF)
    -196, C->T 12.0-16.0 (AF)
    -195, C->G 4.5-7.0 (AF)
-175, T->C 22.1 (AF)
29.5 (SAF)
-175, T->C 37.0-38.5 (AF)
37.3 (CAF)
40.4 (SAF)
    -117, G->A 7.1-15.6 (AF)
-114, C->G 8.6 (AF)    
-114, C->T 11.0-14.0 (AF) -114, C->T 4.7-4.8 (AF)
-110, A->C 0.6-0.8 (AF) 13 bp deletion
(-114 thru -102)
30.1-31.8 (SAF)

[1]   Excluded are the -161 (G->A) and -158 (C->T) mutations in the Ggamma promoter; these are listed sub-IV-b. AF is heterozygote; SAF or CAF are heterozygotes with a betaS or betaC mutation in trans to the nondeletional HPFH determinant.
