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 Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product does not undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Variant is located in the 3'-most 50 bp of the penultimate exon, not predicted to undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. There are 102 pathogenic variants in the truncated region.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 11-5226736-AG-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr11-5226736-AG-A is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 38659.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr11-5226736-AG-A is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

The HBB c.155del (p.Pro52Leufs*10) variant alters the translational reading frame of the HBB mRNA and causes the premature termination of HBB protein synthesis. This variant has been reported in the published literature to be associated with beta(0)-thalassemia (PMID: 8225319 (1993)). This variant has not been reported in large, multi-ethnic general populations (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). Based on the available information, this variant is classified as pathogenic. -

The HBB c.155del; p.Pro52LeufsTer10 variant (also known as Codon 51 (-C) or Pro51fs when numbered from the mature protein, rs63750128, HbVar ID: 858) has been reported in at least one individual presenting with hematological data consistent with beta zero-thalassemia heterozygosity (Ringelhann 1993). This variant is reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 38659) and is absent from the Genome Aggregation Database, indicating it is not a common polymorphism. This variant creates a frameshift by deleting a single nucleotide, so it is predicted to result in a truncated protein or mRNA subject to nonsense-mediated decay. Based on available information, this variant is considered to be pathogenic. References: Link to HbVar: https://globin.bx.psu.edu/hbvar/hbvar.html Ringelhann B et al.

Variant summary: HBB c.155delC (p.Pro52LeufsX10) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein. Variants downstream of this position have been classified pathogenic internally. The variant was absent in 251440 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.155delC has been reported in the literature in one individual who had the characteristics of beta0-thal heterozygote (Ringelhann_1993). The variant, also known as CD 51 (-C), is reported in hemoglobinopathy databases as a causative mutation associated with beta0-thalassemia (HbVar, Ithanet). The following publication has been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 8225319). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 38659). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
