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'.

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp	Sep 18, 2018	Variant summary: HBB c.316-2A>G is located in a canonical splice-site and is predicted to affect mRNA splicing resulting in a significantly altered protein due to either exon skipping, shortening, or inclusion of intronic material. Several computational tools predict a significant impact on normal splicing: Five predict the variant abolishes a 3 acceptor site. Two publications report experimental evidence that this variant affects mRNA splicing (Antonarakis_1984, Atweh_1985). The variant allele was found at a frequency of 1.1e-05 in 276762 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The variant, c.316-2A>G, has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Beta Thalassemia (Bravo-Urquiola_2012, Codrington_1990, Antonarakis_1984, Atweh_1985, Huisman_1997). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. Six clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All laboratories classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Myriad Genetics, Inc.	Dec 09, 2019	NM_000518.4(HBB):c.316-2A>G is classified as pathogenic in the context of Hb beta chain-related hemoglobinopathy; it is associated with beta thalassemia and is classified as a beta-zero variant. Sources cited for classification include the following: PMID 21250876, 2987809 and 2123063. Classification of NM_000518.4(HBB):c.316-2A>G is based on the following criteria: The variant is located at a canonical splice site, is expected to disrupt gene function and is reported in individuals with the relevant phenotype. Please note: this variant was assessed in the context of healthy population screening. -

Pathogenic:4

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Dec 18, 2023	This sequence change affects an acceptor splice site in intron 2 of the HBB gene. RNA analysis indicates that disruption of this splice site induces altered splicing and likely results in the gain of 90 amino acid residue(s), but is expected to preserve the integrity of the reading-frame. This variant is present in population databases (rs33914668, gnomAD 0.01%). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individuals with autosomal recessive beta-thalassemia (PMID: 2123063, 6583702). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. This variant is also known as IVSII-849A>G. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 21191). Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Studies have shown that disruption of this splice site results in the activation of a cryptic splice site in intron 2 (PMID: 6583702). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	ARUP Laboratories, Molecular Genetics and Genomics, ARUP Laboratories	Nov 27, 2023	The HBB c.316-2A>G variant (also known as IVS-II-849 (A->G), rs33914668, Hbvar ID: 940) is reported in the literature in both homozygous and compound heterozygous individuals affected with beta(0) thalassemia (Antonarakis 1984, Atweh 1985, HbVar database and references therein). This variant is found on only three chromosomes (3/282432 alleles) in the Genome Aggregation Database, indicating it is not a common polymorphism. This variant abolishes the canonical splice acceptor site of intron 2, which is likely to disrupt gene function. Indeed, RNA analyses of patient cells carrying the c.316-2A>G variant suggest altered splicing and retention of sections of intron 3 in the mature mRNA (Antonarakis 1984, Atweh 1985). Based on available information, this variant is considered to be pathogenic.
