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=-0.65).

The HBB c.-106G>A variant is located in the 5'-untranslated region of the beta globin mRNA. To the best of our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in the published literature. It also has not been reported in large, multi-ethnic general populations (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). A different nucleotide substitution at this position, c.-106G>C, has been reported in the homozygous state in an individual with minor beta(+)-thalassemia (PMID: 25754248 (2015)), but as a silent variant when in combination with Hb S or another beta(0)-thalassemia variant (PMID: 29157184 (2017)). Based on the available information, the c.-106G>A variant is classified as a variant of uncertain significance. -
