Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. The variant received 9 ACMG points: 10P and 1B. PM1 PM2 PM5 PP3_Strong BP6

The NM_000558.5(HBA1):​c.287C>G​(p.Pro96Arg) variant causes a missense change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000000707 in 1,414,336 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. P96L) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

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.

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Likely_pathogenic. The variant received 9 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 5 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 4 benign, 24 uncertain in NM_000558.5
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr16-177120-C-T is described in ClinVar as Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity. ClinVar VariationId is 15730.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.995
• BP6: Variant 16-177120-C-G is Benign according to our data. Variant chr16-177120-C-G is described in ClinVar as Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity. ClinVar VariationId is 15817.
