Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely benign. Variant got -2 ACMG points: 2P and 4B. PM2 BP4_Moderate BP6 BP7

The NM_000518.5(HBB):c.24G>A(p.Glu8=) variant causes a synonymous change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars).

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'.

ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_benign. Variant got -2 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.46).
• BP6: Variant 11-5226998-C-T is Benign according to our data. Variant chr11-5226998-C-T is described in ClinVar as [Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity]. Clinvar id is 2681984.We mark this variant Likely_benign, oryginal submissions are: {Likely_benign=1, Uncertain_significance=1}.
• BP7: Synonymous conserved (PhyloP=2.21 with no splicing effect.

Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Invitae	May 23, 2023	- -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Quest Diagnostics Nichols Institute San Juan Capistrano	Apr 27, 2023	The HBB c.24G>A (p.Glu8=) synonymous variant has not been reported in the published literature. The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.000004 (1/251176 chromosomes, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org), is uninformative in assessment of its pathogenicity. Analysis of this variant using software algorithms for the prediction of the effect of nucleotide changes on splicing yielded predictions that this variant does not affect HBB mRNA splicing . Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -
