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.232C>T (p.His78Tyr) also known as Hb-Fukuyama results in a conservative amino acid change located in the Globin domain (IPR000971) of the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4e-06 in 251428 control chromosomes. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.232C>T has been reported in the literature as a slightly unstable hemoglobin in reportedly unaffected individuals during routine HbA1c analysis (example, Landin_1993). These report(s) do 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. Two clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All laboratories classified the variant as uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

Collection Method:clinical testing

The Hb Fukuyama variant (HBB: c.232C>T; p.His78Tyr, also known as His77Tyr when numbered from the mature protein, rs33991294) is reported in the literature in several heterozygous individuals without clinical symptoms (HbVar database and references therein). This variant is found on a single chromosome (1/251428 alleles) in the Genome Aggregation Database. The histidine at codon 78 is weakly conserved, but computational analyses (SIFT, PolyPhen-2) predict that this variant is deleterious, and functional assays suggest the variant is mildly unstable (HbVar database and references therein). However, due to limited information, the clinical significance of the Hb Fukuyama variant is uncertain at this time.
