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 located near the start codon (<100nt), not predicted to undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. There are 323 pathogenic variants in the truncated region.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 11-5226947-ACCAACTT-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr11-5226947-ACCAACTT-A is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 869360.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr11-5226947-ACCAACTT-A is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp	Jan 17, 2024	Variant summary: HBB c.68_74delAAGTTGG (p.Glu23ValfsX37) results in a premature termination codon and is predicted to cause absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, a commonly known mechanism for disease. The variant was absent in 251294 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.68_74delAAGTTGG has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Beta Thalassemia (e.g. Neishabury_2011). These data indicate that the variant is very likely associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publication has been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 21232998). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 869360). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Glu23Valfs*37) 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). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of autosomal recessive beta-thalassemia (PMID: 21232998). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 869360). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
