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, no assertion criteria provided	curation	The ITHANET community portal, The Cyprus Institute of Neurology and Genetics	Nov 25, 2019	- -
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp	Aug 07, 2019	Variant summary: HBB c.316-1G>T 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. 5/5 computational tools predict that the variant significantly impacts normal splicing by abolishing a 3' acceptor site. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. The variant was absent in 251150 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.316-1G>T has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Beta Thalassemia (Najmabadi_2002). These data indicate that the variant may be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. One clinical diagnostic laboratory has submitted a clinical-significance assessment for this variant to ClinVar (after 2014) and classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -
