The NM_000518.5(HBB):c.433_435delinsTAA (p.Lys145Ter) variant causes a stop gained change. This is a loss-of-function variant that does not trigger NMD. The gene HBB is a known oncogene (CancerMine: 4 oncogene, 1 driver citations). The gene HBB is a cancer driver gene (CancerMine: 4 oncogene, 1 driver citations). Note: allele frequency estimates from gnomAD may be inaccurate for this variant type (MNP or indel longer than 3 bp) due to technology limitations. The variant is absent from the gnomAD population database at sites with sufficient sequencing coverage. No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar.

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'.

Classification according to ACGS-UK Somatic Oncogenicity v2025

Classification was made for transcript:

Our verdict: Uncertain_significance. The variant received 5 points.

Apply	Criterion Code & Title / Strength	Strength	Rationale / Clinical Context
	O3Absent or very rare in population		Absent or extremely rare in gnomAD (AC ≤ 2) — O3 moderate; GnomAD: AF = absent, AC = 0 — absent/extremely rare (O3 moderate [+2])
	O7Mutational hotspot or critical domain		Supporting: cancerhotspots.org hit, critical domain, or missense neighbourhood hotspot; No cancerhotspots.org hit at this position; UniProt domain: 0 pathogenic, 0 benign.; ±8 AA neighbourhood: 10 pathogenic, 6 benign (OR vs. background: 8.1); Variant does not impact splicing — splice-hotspot path not applicable
	O9Protein length change in non-repeat region		Truncating variant in final exon of oncogene — predicted GOF (O9 moderate); Truncating variant in final exon of oncogene — predicted to escape NMD and result in GOF
