Genes affected
HBG2 (HGNC:4832): (hemoglobin subunit gamma 2) The gamma globin genes (HBG1 and HBG2) are normally expressed in the fetal liver, spleen and bone marrow. Two gamma chains together with two alpha chains constitute fetal hemoglobin (HbF) which is normally replaced by adult hemoglobin (HbA) at birth. In some beta-thalassemias and related conditions, gamma chain production continues into adulthood. The two types of gamma chains differ at residue 136 where glycine is found in the G-gamma product (HBG2) and alanine is found in the A-gamma product (HBG1). The former is predominant at birth. The order of the genes in the beta-globin cluster is: 5'- epsilon -- gamma-G -- gamma-A -- delta -- beta--3'. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

The Hb F-Emirates variant (HBG2: c.178A>G;p.Lys60Glu, also known as Lys59Glu when numbered from the mature protein, rs28933078, HbVar ID: 600, ClinVar ID: 14997) is reported in the literature in an individual with no hematological findings. This variant is found in the non-Finnish European population with an overall allele frequency of 0.002% (2/113,742 alleles) in the Genome Aggregation Database (v2.1.1). Computational analyses are uncertain whether this variant is neutral or deleterious (REVEL: 0.512). Based on available information, this variant is considered to be likely benign References: Link to HbVar database: https://globin.bx.psu.edu/hbvar/menu.html -
