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

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 11 ACMG points.

PS3
PS3 evidence extracted from ClinVar submissions: SCV000697149: In functional studies the variant of interest was shown to reduce the production of the b-globin mRNA.; SCV000950878: Studies have shown that this variant alters HBB gene expression (PMID: 6583702).; SCV001473052: Functional characterization of this variant indicates a significant reduction of beta globin transcription to 25 percent of normal levels (Antonarakis 1984). PMID: 6583702; SCV001803940: Published functional studies demonstrate a damaging effect: reduced beta-globin RNA compared to wildtype (Antonarakis et al., 1984; Calvo et al., 2009); PMID: 2458145, 30275481, 22975760, 19372376, 6583702, 2123063, 2014803, 8435318, 3021607, 8330981, 28366028, 28385923, 31395865, 31589614, 32746448; SCV002681693: Multiple functional studies show this variant leads to a reduction of mRNA (Antonarakis, 1984; Calvo, 2009).
PP5
Variant 11-5227100-T-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr11-5227100-T-C is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 15469.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
