Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 18 ACMG points: 18P and 0B. PVS1 PM2 PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_000518.5(HBB):​c.162delT​(p.Val55LeufsTer7) variant causes a frameshift change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. A54A) has been classified as Uncertain significance. Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.

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'.

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The HBB c.162delT; p.Val55LeufsTer7 variant (also known as codon 53 (-T), or Val54fs when numbered from the mature protein, rs1554917935) is reported in a family affected with beta thalassemia intermedia, and is inherited in a dominant fashion in this large family (Yi 2008). This variant is also reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 439137), but is absent from the Genome Aggregation Database, indicating it is not a common polymorphism. This variant causes 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: Yi P et al.
