Genes affected

HBA1 (HGNC:4823): (hemoglobin subunit alpha 1) 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.

Variant summary: HBA1 c.178G>C (p.Gly60Arg) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the Globin domain (IPR000971) of the encoded protein sequence. Four of four in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 7.4e-06 in 135930 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.178G>C has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Alpha Thalassemia (e.g. Oron-Karni_2000, Fang_2014, Jiang_2017, Gilad_2017). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. However, in silico protein folding models predict that the variant is unstable in both oxy and de-oxy environments (Scheps_2019). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 24261598, 28160324, 29115167, 11074535, 31553106). One ClinVar submitter has assessed the variant since 2014, and classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

Quest Diagnostics Nichols Institute San Juan Capistrano

Significance:Pathogenic

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

Predicted to have a damaging effect on the protein. One other pathogenic variant affects the same amino acid. In multiple individuals, this variant has been seen with a single recessive pathogenic variant in the same gene, suggesting this variant may also be pathogenic. Assessment of experimental evidence suggests this variant results in abnormal protein function. -
