Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingARUP Laboratories, Molecular Genetics and Genomics, ARUP LaboratoriesMar 17, 2021The Codon 26 (G>T) variant (HBB: c.79G>T; p.Glu27Ter, also known as Glu26Ter when numbered from the mature protein, rs33950507) is reported in an individual with beta thalassemia that also harbored the HbE variant (HbVar database and references therein). In testing performed at ARUP Laboratories, this variant has also been observed in trans to a frameshift variant in an individual with severe anemia. The p.Glu27Ter variant is absent from general population databases (Exome Variant Server, Genome Aggregation Database), indicating it is not a common polymorphism. This variant induces an early termination codon and is predicted to result in a truncated protein or mRNA subject to nonsense-mediated decay. Consistent with predictions, functional studies demonstrate an absence of beta globin protein and mRNA in cells expressing this variant (Neu-Yilik 2011). Based on available information, this variant is considered to be pathogenic.

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeAug 12, 2021This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Glu27*) in the HBB gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in HBB are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 23637309). This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with beta thalassemia (PMID: 1974422). This variant is also known as codon 26 GAG>TAG. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 38650). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpDec 14, 2017Variant summary: The HBB c.79G>T (p.Glu27X, also known as CD26 G>T) variant results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncated or absent HBB protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. Truncations downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory (e.g. c.85dupC/p.Leu29fsX16, c.110delC/p.Pro37fsX25, etc.). One in silico tool predicts a damaging outcome for this variant. This variant is absent in 277088 control chromosomes. It has been reported in multiple affected individuals. Variant involving the same neucleotide c.79G>A/p.Glu27Lys is a common HbE variant and the region around codon 26 has been suggested as mutation hotspot(Fucharoen_1990). In addition, multiple clinical diagnostic laboratories/reputable databases classified this variant as pathogenic. Taken together, this variant is classified as pathogenic. -
