Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. The variant received 8 ACMG points: 8P and 0B. PM1 PM2 PP3_Strong

The NM_000518.5(HBB):​c.307A>G​(p.Asn103Asp) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. 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 Uncertain significance (★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. N103Y) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

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'.

The HBB c.307A>G; Asn102Asp variant, to our knowledge, is not reported in the medical literature or gene specific databases. This variant is also absent from general population databases (1000 Genomes Project, Exome Variant Server, and Genome Aggregation Database), indicating it is not a common polymorphism. The asparagine at codon 102 is highly conserved, and computational analyses (SIFT, PolyPhen-2) predict that this variant is deleterious, although these are low confidence predictions. Additionally, other amino acid substitutions at this codon (Tyr (Hb Saint Mande), His (Hb Canebiere), Ser Hb Beth Israel), Thr (Kansas), Lys (Hb Richmond)) have been reported in individuals with cyanosis and/or have been shown to result in reduced oxygen affinity (see link to HbVar and references therein). Due to limited information, the clinical significance of the Asn102Asp variant is uncertain at this time. References: Link to HbVar: http://globin.bx.psu.edu/cgi-bin/hbvar/query_vars3 -
