Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. Variant got 4 ACMG points: 4P and 0B. PP3_Strong

The NM_000517.6(HBA2):​c.30C>G​(p.Asn10Lys) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. N10T) has been classified as Likely benign.

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.

The Hb Park Ridge variant (HBA2: c.30C>G; p.Asn10Lys, also known as Asn9Lys when numbered from the mature protein, rs111033604, HbVar ID: 914, ClinVar Variation ID: 15650) is reported in the literature in the heterozygous state in a healthy individual with normal hematology (Hoyer 2002, HbVar database). However, the phenotype of this variant in the presence of other alpha globin variants is unknown. This variant is absent from the Genome Aggregation Database (v2.1.1), indicating it is not a common polymorphism. Computational analyses are uncertain whether this variant is neutral or deleterious (REVEL: 0.477). Due to limited information, the clinical significance of the Hb Park Ridge variant is uncertain at this time.
