The HBB c.*110_*114del variant (also known as -AATAA and c.*108_*112delAATAA) is located in the polyadenylation signal of the beta globin (HBB) mRNA. This variant prevents polyadenylation of the beta globin mRNA at the normal polyadenylation site and causes the synthesis of an elongated beta globin mRNA (PMID: 1374896 (1992)). It is associated with severe beta(+)-thalassemia (HbVar, http://globin.bx.psu.edu/cgi-bin/hbvar/counter). In the published literature, this variant has been reported in homozygous individuals affected with beta thalassemia major (PMID: 1705411 (1990), 1374896 (1992), 9140720 (1997), 24200152 (2014)). It has also been seen with Hb S in one individual (PMID: 14649318 (2003)). Variants in the delta globin (HBD) gene have also been reported in some individuals with this HBB variant (PMIDs: 24985928 (2014), 24200152 (2014)). -
The HBB: c.*110_*114del variant, (rs35949130, HbVar ID: 973, ClinVar ID: 15506) is reported homozygous in the literature in multiple individuals with transfusion dependent beta thalassemia major (Colaco 2014, Lacan 2003, Rund 1992). This variant has also reported compound heterozygous with Hb S in an individual with beta+ -thalassemia. This variant is absent from the Genome Aggregation Database (v2.1.1), indicating it is not a common polymorphism. This variant occurs in the 3' untranslated region and results in the deletion of the majority of the poly(a) signal. Functional characterization indicates the complete loss of cleavage at the canonical polyadenylation site, resulting in an elongated HBB transcript that is less efficiently processed by a downstream cryptic polyadenylation site (Rund 1992). Based on available information, this variant is considered to be pathogenic. References: Link to HbVar database: https://globin.bx.psu.edu/hbvar/menu.html Colaco S et al.
