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'.

Variant summary: HBB c.-82C>A affects a non-conserved nucleotide that is located in the untranscribed region, one nucleotide upstream to the conserved ATAAA sequence (i.e. the TATA box) therefore, it could affect gene expression. A saturation mutagenesis study reported that this variant had no significant effect on gene expression (Kircher_2019). The variant was absent in 31390 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.-82C>A has been reported in the literature in at-least one individual with features of Beta Thalassemia (example: Lin_1992). These data indicate that the variant may be associated with disease. One submitter provided clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 and classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -
