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'.

The HBB c.316-96G>C variant, to the best of our knowledge, has not been reported in the published literature. The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.00045 (7/15430 chromosomes (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is uninformative in the assessment of its pathogenicity. Analysis of this variant using software algorithms for the prediction of the effect of nucleotide changes on splicing yielded predictions that this variant does not affect HBB mRNA splicing . Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -

Variant summary: HBB c.316-96G>C is located at a position not widely known to affect splicing. Consensus agreement among computation tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing (Trap). However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00053 in 1291074 control chromosomes in the gnomAD database. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.316-96G>C in individuals affected with Hemoglobinopathy and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 36321). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -
