The variant received 4 classification points (ACGS-UK Somatic Oncogenicity v2025). O3_ModerateO7_Moderate

The NM_000518.5(HBB):c.433_435delAAGinsGAA (p.Lys145Glu) variant causes a missense change. 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. A different missense at the same amino acid position has been reported as Pathogenic/Likely Pathogenic in ClinVar: p.K145N: Pathogenic (ClinVar VariationId 15096, 1 star) Other variants at the same amino acid position have been reported in ClinVar (not pathogenic): p.K145?: other (ClinVar VariationId 15604, 0 stars); p.K145*: Uncertain_significance (ClinVar VariationId 478887, 1 star); p.K145E: other (ClinVar VariationId 15268, 0 stars); p.K145= (synonymous): Likely_benign (ClinVar VariationId 1104204, 1 star); p.K145M: other (ClinVar VariationId 15576, 0 stars); p.K145N: not_provided (ClinVar VariationId 156328) This exact variant is curated in the UniProt human variants database as Uncertain Significance.

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 4 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		Moderate: ≥10 same AA change, or strong functional domain signal; No cancerhotspots.org hit at this position; UniProt domain: 131 pathogenic, 51 benign (OR vs. background: 12.8).; ±8 AA neighbourhood: 11 pathogenic, 3 benign (OR vs. background: 16.4); Variant does not impact splicing — splice-hotspot path not applicable
