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'.

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpMay 20, 2022Variant summary: HBB c.*6C>G is located in the untranslated mRNA region downstream of the termination codon. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4e-06 in 251382 control chromosomes. This frequency is not higher than the estimated maximum expected for a pathogenic variant in HBB causing Beta Thalassemia Intermedia (0.011), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. The variant c.*6C>G (aka. +1480T>G) has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Beta Thalassemia Intermedia (e.g. Maragoudaki_1998, Jankovic_1991, Aldemir_2014). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. Publications also reported in vitro experimental evidence evaluating the variant impact, and demonstrated about 20-40% reduction in mRNA levels associated with variant compared to normal beta-globin alleles (Maragoudaki_1998, Sgourou_2002), while another study showed a slightly higher (1.1 fold) levels of expression than WT (Hino_2012). One reputable database has submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 and classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
not provided Pathogenic:1
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpJan 20, 2022This variant is present in population databases (rs34809925, gnomAD 0.0009%). This variant occurs in a non-coding region of the HBB gene. It does not change the encoded amino acid sequence of the HBB protein. This variant has been observed in individual(s) with autosomal recessive beta-thalassemia (PMID: 1777603, 9792288). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. Studies have shown that this variant does not significantly alter or has an unclear effect on HBB gene expression (PMID: 9792288, 22734587). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 393707). This variant is also known as term +6C>G or +1480C>G. -
