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'.

The beta-globin (HBB) c.93-1G>C variant (also known as IVS-I-130 (G>C)) disrupts a canonical splice-acceptor site and interferes with normal HBB mRNA splicing. In the published literature, the variant is associated with beta(0)-thalassemia (PMIDs: 1517108 (1992), 1577489 (1992), 23510507 (2013), 26182339 (2015), 27828729 (2017)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.000004 (1/251326 chromosomes, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org), is consistent with pathogenicity. Based on the available information, this variant is classified as pathogenic. -

Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. This sequence change affects an acceptor splice site in intron 1 of the HBB gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing. Variants that disrupt the donor or acceptor splice site typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in HBB are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 23637309). This variant is present in population databases (rs33943001, gnomAD 0.003%). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individuals with autosomal recessive beta thalassemia (PMID: 2283297, 9163586, 28391758, 28670940). This variant is also known as IVS-I-130G>C. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 439166). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The HBB c.93-1G>C variant (rs33943001), also known as IVS-I-130 (G>C), has been reported in individuals with beta-thalassemia trait when identified in a heterozygous state (He 2015, HbVar database and references therein), and beta thalassemia major when found in-trans with a truncating beta globin variant (Asadov 2013). It is listed as pathogenic in ClinVar (Variation ID: 439166), and observed once in the 1000 Genomes Project (1/5008 alleles), and once in the Genome Aggregation Database (1/246102 alleles). The variant is located in the splice consensus sequence, and computational algorithms (Mutation Taster, NNSplice, NetGene2, SpliceSiteFinder-like, MaxEntScan, GeneSplicer, Human Splicing Finder) predict it abolishes the canonical splice acceptor site. Based on the above information, the c.93-1G>C variant is classified as pathogenic.

The variant The HBB:c.93-1G>C (p.Trp16Ter) is beta0 type of mutation. The variant is located in the splice junction. When this variant present with other pathogenic HBB mutation leads to severe type of thalassemia. Patients needing blood transfusion, often presented with hepatosplenomegaly, Iron overload. The frequency of the variant among thalassemia patient in Eastern India is 1.194 % as per our multicentric project - A Genetic Diagnostic Algorithm Based Study for Thalassemia in Northern and Eastern Indian Populations, Funded by Dept. of Biotechnology , Govt of India [Project No. BT/PR26461/MED/12/821/2018] -

Variant summary: HBB c.93-1G>C 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: Four predict the variant abolishes a 3 acceptor site. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4e-06 in 251326 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.93-1G>C has been reported in the literature in multiple affected individuals (Sankaran_2011, Najmabadi_2002, el-Kalla_1997, Oner_1990, Hussain_2017). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. Three ClinVar submitters (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
