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 variant has been reported as a variant having an alpha thalassemia-like phenotype. It has been observed in heterozygous carriers from a Portuguese family and associated with moderate erythrocytosis, microcytosis, and hypochromia (PMID: 17296578 (2007)). This variant was described as being unstable and causing Hb H disease in a severely affected infant with the Filipino deletional mutation (--FIL) on the other allele (PMID: 11722414 (2001)). This variant has not been reported in large, multi-ethnic general populations. -
