Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. Variant got 6 ACMG points: 6P and 0B. PM1PM2PM5

The NM_000518.5(HBB):​c.67G>A​(p.Glu23Lys) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000031 in 1,613,904 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★). Another nucleotide change resulting in same amino acid change has been previously reported as Likely benignin UniProt. Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. E23A) 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'.

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingARUP Laboratories, Molecular Genetics and Genomics, ARUP LaboratoriesOct 06, 2022The Hb E-Saskatoon variant (HBB: c.67G>A, p.Glu23Lys, also known as Glu22Lys when numbered from the mature protein, rs33959855, HbVar ID: 264) has been reported in a heterozygous state in individuals with no clinical symptoms (HbVar database and reference therein), and comprises half of the total hemoglobin (Birben 2001). Individuals carrying the variant in-trans to Hb S or a beta thalassemia pathogenic variant exhibit mild-moderate hematological abnormalities (Birben 2001, Couto 2014, Theodoridou 2003, HbVar database and references therein), while a homozygous individual presented only mild anemia (Birben 2001). The variant is listed in ClinVar (Variation ID: 15162), but is absent from the Genome Aggregation Database, indicating it is not a common polymorphism. The at codon 23 is highly conserved, and computational analyses are uncertain whether this variant is neutral or deleterious (REVEL: 0.536). Although Hb E-Saskatoon has not been associated with severe hematological symptoms, it has been associated with mild hematological changes in combination with other variants; overall, its clinical significance cannot be determined with certainty.
