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'.

beta Thalassemia Pathogenic:6
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpMay 12, 2016Variant summary: The HBB c.47G>A (p.Trp16X) variant results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncated or absent HBB protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. Variant c.48G>A that gives the same codon change has been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory. One in silico tool predicts a damaging outcome for this variant. This variant was found in 14/121364 control chromosomes at a frequency of 0.0001154, which does not exceed the estimated maximal expected allele frequency of a pathogenic HBB variant (0.0111803). This variant has been reported in numerous beta thalassemia patients and is considered as a common disease variant. In addition, multiple reputable databases classified this variant as pathogenic. Taken together, this variant is classified as pathogenic. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLaboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized MedicineNov 03, 2022The p.Trp16X variant (also known as Trp15X) has been reported in numerous individuals with beta thalassemia (selected references Kazazian 1984 PMID: 6714226, HbVar database: http://globin.bx.psu.edu/cgi-bin/hbvar/query_vars3?mode=output&display_format=page&i=791 ). It has been reported in ClinVar (Variation ID 15403) and was identified in 4/4834 South Asian chromosomes by gnomAD (https://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). This nonsense variant leads to a premature termination codon at position 16, which is predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Loss of function of the HBB gene is an established disease mechanism in autosomal recessive beta thalassemia. In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for autosomal recessive beta thalassemia. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PM2_Supporting, PVS1, PM3_Strong. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingMyriad Genetics, Inc.Dec 16, 2019NM_000518.4(HBB):c.47G>A(W16*) is classified as pathogenic in the context of Hb beta chain-related hemoglobinopathy and is associated with beta thalassemia. Sources cited for classification include the following: PMID 21389146, 15278762, 18294253 and 21389146. Classification of NM_000518.4(HBB):c.47G>A(W16*) is based on the following criteria: This is a well-established pathogenic variant in the literature that has been observed more frequently in patients with clinical diagnoses than in healthy populations. Please note: this variant was assessed in the context of healthy population screening. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingARUP Laboratories, Molecular Genetics and Genomics, ARUP LaboratoriesOct 13, 2023The HBB c.47G>A; p.Trp16Ter variant (also known as Trp15Ter when numbered from the mature protein or as Codon 15 (G->A); TGG->TAG, rs63750783, HbVar ID: 791) has been reported in individuals with beta(0) thalassemia (Kazazian 1984, HbVar database and references therein). This variant is found in the general population with an overall allele frequency of 0.009% (22/251244 alleles) in the Genome Aggregation Database. This variant introduces a premature termination codon, but the mRNA is resistant to nonsense-mediated decay (Neu-Yilik 2011); thus it is predicted to result in a truncated protein. Based on available information, this variant is considered to be pathogenic. References: Link to HbVar database: https://globin.bx.psu.edu/hbvar/menu.html Kazazian HH Jr et al.

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpJan 22, 2024This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Trp16*) in the HBB gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 132 amino acid(s) of the HBB protein. This variant is present in population databases (rs63750783, gnomAD 0.06%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with beta thalassemia and has been reported as a prevalent disease-associated variant in several populations (PMID: 1581247, 6714226, 7668221, 18294253, 20395516, 27263053, 27828729). This variant is also known as "Codon 15 (TGG->TGA)". ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 15403). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Beta-thalassemia HBB/LCRB Pathogenic:2
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingNeuberg Centre For Genomic Medicine, NCGM-The stop gain c.47G>A (p.Trp16Ter) variant in the HBB gene has been reported previously in both homozygous and compound heterozygous states in multiple individuals affected with beta-thalassemia and is also one of the most common HBB variants causing beta-thalassemia (Yasmeen et al. 2016; Panja et al. 2017). The p.Trp16Ter variant is reported with an allele frequency of 0.008% in the gnomAD exomes database. This variant has been reported to the ClinVar database as Pathogenic (multiple submissions). This variant is predicted to cause a loss of normal protein function through protein truncation. Loss of function variants has been previously reported to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. As this variant in HBB gene is in heterozygous state, it is suggestive of Beta thalassemia trait. -
