Genes affected
HBA2 (HGNC:4824): (hemoglobin subunit alpha 2) The human alpha globin gene cluster located on chromosome 16 spans about 30 kb and includes seven loci: 5'- zeta - pseudozeta - mu - pseudoalpha-1 - alpha-2 - alpha-1 - theta - 3'. The alpha-2 (HBA2) and alpha-1 (HBA1) coding sequences are identical. These genes differ slightly over the 5' untranslated regions and the introns, but they differ significantly over the 3' untranslated regions. Two alpha chains plus two beta chains constitute HbA, which in normal adult life comprises about 97% of the total hemoglobin; alpha chains combine with delta chains to constitute HbA-2, which with HbF (fetal hemoglobin) makes up the remaining 3% of adult hemoglobin. Alpha thalassemias result from deletions of each of the alpha genes as well as deletions of both HBA2 and HBA1; some nondeletion alpha thalassemias have also been reported.

| Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | ARUP Laboratories, Molecular Genetics and Genomics, ARUP Laboratories | May 08, 2024 | The Hb Boyle Heights variant (HBA2: c.19_21delGAC; p.Asp7del, also known as Asp6del when numbered from the mature protein, rs34623271, ClinVar ID: 15641, HbVar ID: 715) is reported in several heterozygous individuals with mild microcytosis and hypochromia without anemia (Johnson 1983, Zhao 1990, HbVar database). This variant is absent from the Genome Aggregation Database (v2.1.1), indicating it is not a common polymorphism. This variant deletes a single aspartate residue leaving the rest of the protein in-frame. Functional characterization suggests the variant protein is unstable and exhibits increased oxygen affinity (Johnson 1983). Due to limited information, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain at this time. References: Link to HbVar database: https://globin.bx.psu.edu/hbvar/menu.html Johnson CS et al.
