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'.

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product does not undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Variant is located in the 3'-most 50 bp of the penultimate exon, not predicted to undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. There are 114 pathogenic variants in the truncated region.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 11-5226779-C-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr11-5226779-C-T is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 439782.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr11-5226779-C-T is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 439782). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with Beta thalassemia (PMID: 28670940). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Trp38*) 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). -
