Genes affected
 HBA2  (HGNC:4824):  (hemoglobin subunit alpha 2) The human alpha globin gene cluster located on chromosome 16 spans about 30 kb and includes seven loci: 5'- zeta - pseudozeta - mu - pseudoalpha-1 - alpha-2 - alpha-1 - theta - 3'. The alpha-2 (HBA2) and alpha-1 (HBA1) coding sequences are identical. These genes differ slightly over the 5' untranslated regions and the introns, but they differ significantly over the 3' untranslated regions. Two alpha chains plus two beta chains constitute HbA, which in normal adult life comprises about 97% of the total hemoglobin; alpha chains combine with delta chains to constitute HbA-2, which with HbF (fetal hemoglobin) makes up the remaining 3% of adult hemoglobin. Alpha thalassemias result from deletions of each of the alpha genes as well as deletions of both HBA2 and HBA1; some nondeletion alpha thalassemias have also been reported.

ACMG classification
Classification was made for transcript
Our verdict: Likely_benign. The variant received -6 ACMG points.
BP4
Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.86). 
BP6
Variant 16-173046-C-G is Benign according to our data. Variant chr16-173046-C-G is described in ClinVar as Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity. ClinVar VariationId is 619683.
BS2
High Homozygotes in GnomAdExome4 at 2 AD,AR geneVariant has number of homozygotes lower than other variant known as pathogenic in the gene, so the strength is limited to Supporting.
