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 testingQuest Diagnostics Nichols Institute San Juan CapistranoJun 22, 2018The 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 submitterclinical testingARUP Laboratories, Molecular Genetics and Genomics, ARUP LaboratoriesMar 04, 2020The 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.
