Variant summary
Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. Variant got 8 ACMG points: 8P and 0B. PM2PP3_StrongPP5_Moderate
The NM_000518.5(HBB):c.323G>A(p.Gly108Asp) variant causes a missense change. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. G108R) has been classified as Likely benign.

This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, at codon 108 of the HBB protein (p.Gly108Asp). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with beta-thalassemia intermedia (PMID: 7668221, 16987796). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. This variant is also known as Hb Lulu Island or beta107(G9)Gly -> Asp. Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) has been performed at Invitae for this missense variant, however the output from this modeling did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on HBB protein function. In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. -
