IMGT notes: ↑

1. Deletion of one nucleotide in FR1-IMGT , leading to a frameshift
2. first part of V-REGION before the repeat LTR/ERVK (MER11C) insertion

4. STOP-CODON in L-PART1, several STOP-CODON in V-REGION, no CONSERVED-TRP: STOP-CODON instead of Trp, frameshift in V-REGION: deletion of 1 nt in FR3-IMGT
5. Pseudogene due to the insertion of a 6-nucleotide insertion ggagga in the V-HEPTAMER motif (D. Scaviner, M-P. Lefranc, 11/01/2002). Following a query from Lindsay Grey Cowell (11/07/2003), the functionality of TRAV8-7*01, first assigned as functional in the "T cell Receptor FactsBook", was changed to ORF, then to P as no rearranged TRAV8-7 sequences were found.

8. frameshifts in V-REGION: several insertions and deletions
9. frameshift in L-PART2, STOP-CODON in V-REGION: position 2 and 44 and frameshifts in V-REGION: several deletions
