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'.

This sequence change falls in intron 2 of the HBB gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the HBB protein. It affects a nucleotide within the consensus splice site. This variant is present in population databases (rs33913413, gnomAD 0.005%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with HBB-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 1330020). Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant is not likely to affect RNA splicing. This variant disrupts the c.316-3C>A nucleotide in the HBB gene. Other variant(s) that disrupt this nucleotide have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 1634368, 2458145, 31718331). This suggests that this nucleotide is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this position are likely to be disease-causing. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
