Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. Variant got 4 ACMG points: 4P and 0B. PM2 PM5

The NM_000518.5(HBB):​c.386C>T​(p.Ala129Val) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. A129D) has been classified as Likely benign.

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'.

ACMG classification

Verdict is Uncertain_significance. Variant got 4 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr11-5225656-G-T is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

Variant summary: HBB c.386C>T (p.Ala129Val) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the Globin domain (IPR000971) of the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant was absent in 251300 control chromosomes. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.386C>T has been reported in the literature as Hb Sitia [beta128(H6)Ala-->Val] in a Greek female with slightly reduced red blood cell indices, mild instability of the molecule and slight modifications of the oxygen binding properties (Papassotiriou_2001). These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Beta Thalassemia or Hemoglobinopathy. To our knowledge, no conclusive experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. No clinical diagnostic laboratory has submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -
