Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. Variant got 4 ACMG points: 4P and 0B. PM2 PP3_Moderate

The NM_000518.5(HBB):​c.241A>T​(p.Asn81Tyr) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. N81K) has been classified as Likely benign.

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'.

Variant summary: HBB c.241A>T (p.Asn81Tyr) also known as Hb Hounslow, results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the Globin domain (IPR000971) of the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant was absent in 251440 control chromosomes. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.241A>T has been reported in the literature in at-least one child from Afghanistan during neonatal screening and his father who had clinically normal hematological parameters (Prehu_2007). It was reported as a "silent" variant without any hematological consequences. Neutral variants described as clinically silent have minimal hematological consequences in the heterozygous state but the possibility of interaction when inherited in compound heterozygosity with a thalassemia trait or with a sickle cell trait cannot be ruled out. Therefore, this report does not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Hemoglobinopathy. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -
