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'.

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

The Hb K-Ibadan variant (HBB: c.140G>A; p.Gly47Glu, also known as Gly46Glu when numbered from the mature protein, rs35303218) is a stable hemoglobin variant and has not been associated with any clinically significant symptoms in the heterozygous state (see link to HbVar, Landin 1993). This variant is reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 15232), but is absent from general population databases (Exome Variant Server, Genome Aggregation Database), indicating it is not a common polymorphism. The glycine at codon 47 is highly conserved, and computational analyses predict that this variant is deleterious (REVEL: 0.932). Based on available information, this variant is considered to be likely benign.
