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 submitter	clinical testing	Laboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized Medicine	Mar 29, 2023	The p.Glu7GlyfsX13 variant in HBB has been reported in >20 compound heterozygous or homozygous individuals with beta-thalassemia (Chang 1983 PMID: 6316272, Kazazian 1983 PMID: 6310991, Gonzalez-Redondo 1988 PMID: 2458145, Bouhass 1990 PMID: 2393712, Petkov 1990 PMID: 2200762, Economou 1991 PMID: 1769663, Baysal 1992 PMID: 1390250, Rosatelli 1992 PMID: 1734721, Vetter 1997 PMID: 9163586, Danjou 2012 PMID: 22271886). This variant has also been reported by other clinical laboratories in ClinVar (Variation ID 15418) and has been identified in 0.0048% (2/41456) of African chromosomes by gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org, v.3.1.2). This variant is predicted to cause a frameshift, which alters the protein’s amino acid sequence beginning at position 7 and leads to a premature termination codon 13 amino acids downstream. This alteration is then predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Loss of function of the HBB gene is an established disease mechanism in autosomal recessive beta thalassemia. In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for autosomal recessive beta-thalassemia. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PVS1, PM3_VeryStrong, PM2_Supporting. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Myriad Genetics, Inc.	Dec 09, 2019	NM_000518.4(HBB):c.20delA(aka p.E7Gfs13) is classified as pathogenic in the context of Hb beta chain-related hemoglobinopathy and is a beta-zero variant associated with beta thalessemia. Sources cited for classification include the following: PMID 22271886 and 1734721. Classification of NM_000518.4(HBB):c.20delA(aka p.E7Gfs13) is based on the following criteria: The variant causes a premature termination codon that is expected to be targeted by nonsense-mediated mRNA decay and is reported in individuals with the relevant phenotype. Please note: this variant was assessed in the context of healthy population screening. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp	Jul 20, 2016	Variant summary: The HBB c.20delA (p.Glu7Glyfs) variant results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncated or absent HBB protein due to nonsense mediated decay (NMD), which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. In addition, this region is known to be a mutational hot-spot. Truncations downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory (e.g. c.27dupG, c.36delT, c.46delT, etc.). This variant was found in 3/121348 control chromosomes at a frequency of 0.0000247, which is lower than the estimated maximal expected allele frequency of a pathogenic HBB variant (0.0111803). This variant is a known common pathogenic variant mainly reported in Algerian, Moroccan, and Sardinian populations in homozygous and/or heterozygous state. Additionally, multiple reputable databases classified this variant as pathogenic. Taken together, this variant is classified as a Pathogenic. -

Pathogenic:5

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Invitae	Jan 16, 2024	This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Glu7Glyfs*13) in the HBB gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in HBB are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 23637309). This variant is present in population databases (rs63749819, gnomAD 0.007%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with Œ≤-thalassemia (PMID: 6310991). This variant is also known as deletion of A in codon 6 of the beta gene. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 15418). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	ARUP Laboratories, Molecular Genetics and Genomics, ARUP Laboratories	Sep 06, 2023	The HBB c.20delA; p.Glu7fs variant (also known as Glu6fs when numbered from the mature protein or as Codon 6 (-A), rs63749819, HbVar ID: 784) has been reported in multiple individuals with beta(0) thalassemia (Bouhass 1990, Gonzalez-Redondo 1988, Kazazian 1983, Rosatelli 1992, HbVar database and references therein). This variant is found in the general population with an overall allele frequency of 0.002% (4/251184 alleles) in the Genome Aggregation Database. This variant causes a frameshift by deleting a single nucleotide, so it is predicted to result in a truncated protein or mRNA subject to nonsense-mediated decay. Based on available information, this variant is considered to be pathogenic. References: Link to HbVar database for Codon 6 (-A): https://globin.bx.psu.edu/hbvar/hbvar.html Bouhass R et al.
