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'.

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeMay 24, 2023For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This variant disrupts the c.92+5G nucleotide in the HBB gene. Other variant(s) that disrupt this nucleotide have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 6188062, 18294253, 19000664, 22392582, 23162295, 27263053). This suggests that this nucleotide is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this position are likely to be disease-causing. Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Studies have shown that this variant alters mRNA splicing and is expected to lead to the loss of protein expression (PMID: 3671081). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 15449). This variant is also known as IVS-1-5 (G>A) or IVS-I-5. This variant has been observed in individuals with beta thalassemia (PMID: 1917531, 2200760, 3021139, 23590658, 28366028; 10815781.). This variant is present in population databases (rs33915217, gnomAD 0.0009%). This sequence change falls in intron 1 of the HBB gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the HBB protein. It affects a nucleotide within the consensus splice site. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingARUP Laboratories, Molecular Genetics and Genomics, ARUP LaboratoriesJul 03, 2023The HBB c.92+5G>A variant (rs33915217, HbVar ID: 822), also known as IVS-I-5 (G->A), is reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with severe beta(+) thalassemia (Lapoumeroulie 1987, Muniz 2000, Perea 2004, HbVar database and references therein). This variant is listed in ClinVar (Variation ID: 15449), and is only observed on one allele in the Genome Aggregation Database, indicating it is not a common polymorphism. This is an intronic variant in a moderately conserved nucleotide, and computational analyses (Alamut v.2.11) predict that this variant may impact splicing by weakening the nearby canonical donor splice site. Functional studies indicate that the variant causes aberrant splicing of the HBB RNA, leading to reduced production of full-length transcripts (Lapoumeroulie 1987). Based on the above information, the variant is classified as pathogenic. References: Link to HbVar database: https://globin.bx.psu.edu/hbvar/menu.html Lapoumeroulie C et al.
