Genes affected
HBA1 (HGNC:4823): (hemoglobin subunit alpha 1) 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 Parma variant (HBA1 c.178G>A; p.Gly60Ser variant, also known as Gly59Ser when numbered from the mature protein, rs281864895, HbVar ID: 2581, ClinVar ID: 993066) to our knowledge, is not reported in the medical literature but is reported in an asymptomatic individual in the HbVar database (see HbVar database link). However, other variants at this codon in the homologous HBA2 gene (Hb Adana; c.179G>A;p.Gly60Asp and Hb Zurich Albisrieden; c.178G>C; p.Gly60Arg) have been reported in affected individuals are considered disease causing (Curuk 1993, Dutly 2004, see HbVar database and references therein). This variant is only observed on one allele in the Genome Aggregation Database (v2.1.1), indicating it is not a common polymorphism. Computational analyses predict that this variant is deleterious (REVEL: 0.899). However, given the lack of clinical and functional data, the significance of p.Gly60Ser variant is uncertain at this time.
