Variant summary
Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 13 ACMG points: 13P and 0B. PM1PM2PP3PP5_Very_Strong
The NM_000518.5(HBB):c.61G>A(p.Val21Met) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000496 in 1,613,802 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. 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. V21E) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Quest Diagnostics Nichols Institute San Juan Capistrano | Jun 22, 2018 | The HBB c.61G>A (p.Val21Met) variant, also known as Hb Olympia has been reported in individuals presenting with erythrocytosis (PMIDs: 35052427 (2022), 23859443 (2013), and 2599884 (1989)). In addition, this variant has been reported to have increased oxygen affinity and is mildly unstable (PMIDs: 31553106 (2020) and 2599884 (1989)). Based on the available information, this variant is classified as pathogenic. - |
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | ARUP Laboratories, Molecular Genetics and Genomics, ARUP Laboratories | Mar 04, 2020 | The Hb Olympia variant (HBB: c.61G>A; p.Val21Met, also known as Val20Met when numbered from the mature protein, rs35890959) is reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with erythrocytosis (Bento 2013, Gonzalez Fernandez 2009, Percy 2009, Stamatoyannopoulos 1973, Wajcman 2005, HbVar database and references therein). This variant has been observed to segregate with erythrocytosis in a family in a pattern consistent with autosomal dominant inheritance (Stamatoyannopoulos 1973). Further, while heterozygous individuals with this variant are reported with mild erythrocytosis, those carrying both Hb Olympia and a beta-thalassemia allele are reported to exhibit more severe symptoms (Wajcman 2005). The Hb Olympia variant is found on a single chromosome in the Genome Aggregation Database (1/251260 alleles), indicating it is not a common polymorphism. The valine at codon 21 is highly conserved, and functional studies indicate increased oxygen affinity of the variant protein (Stamatoyannopoulos 1973). Based on available information, this variant is considered to be pathogenic.
