Genes affected

HBB (HGNC:4827): (hemoglobin subunit beta) The alpha (HBA) and beta (HBB) loci determine the structure of the 2 types of polypeptide chains in adult hemoglobin, Hb A. The normal adult hemoglobin tetramer consists of two alpha chains and two beta chains. Mutant beta globin causes sickle cell anemia. Absence of beta chain causes beta-zero-thalassemia. Reduced amounts of detectable beta globin causes beta-plus-thalassemia. The order of the genes in the beta-globin cluster is 5'-epsilon -- gamma-G -- gamma-A -- delta -- beta--3'.

ENSG00000298932 (HGNC:):

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 18 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 9 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 2 benign, 25 uncertain in NM_000518.5
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr11-5225605-T-C is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 15322.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.976
• PP5: Variant 11-5225606-A-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr11-5225606-A-T is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 633256.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

Variant summary: HBB c.436T>A (p.Tyr146Asn, a.k.a. Hb Olser) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Four of four in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. These data indicate that the variant is likely to be associated with disease. The variant allele was absent in 121380 control chromosomes (in ExAC). The variant has been reported in several individuals affected with erythrocytosis (Hutt 1996, Charache 1975, Kattamis 1997). Experimental evidence demonstrated a highly increased oxygen affinity for the variant hemoglobin (Charache 1975, Kattamis 1997), that subsequently, can cause tissue hypoxia and secondary erythrocytosis. No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
