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.

Variant summary: HBA2 c.193G>A (p.Asp65Asn) results in a conservative amino acid change located in the globin domain (IPR000971) of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 3.9e-05 in 155296 control chromosomes. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.193G>A has been reported in the literature in the heterozygous state in asymptomatic individuals and in the compound heterozyougs state in at least one indiviudal with symptoms consistent with being an alpha thalassemia carrier (e.g. Cantan_2016, Lin_2009, DiGeorge_2014, Landin_1994, Manca_1994). In addition, this variant has been reported in the heterozygous state in at least one individual with mild microcytic anemia who also had homozygous beta thalassemia variants (e.g. Baine_1979). To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. This variant is also known as Hb G-Waimanalo and Hb Aida. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 500373, 27020723, 24594475, 8195011, 19010698, 21231928, 8195008). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 994321). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -
