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.

Collection Method: clinical testing

The Hb J Toronto variant (HBA1 c.17C>A; p.Ala6Asp, also known as or Ala5Asp when numbered from the mature protein, rs34090856, HbVarID: 3) is reported in the literature in the heterozygous state and in the compound heterozygous state with the 3.7kb deletion in individuals without any significant hematological symptoms (see HbVar and references therein, Mahdavi 2012, Van Laer 2014). Aberrant HbA1c measurements have been reported in several individuals with this variant (Van Laer 2014). This variant is reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 15765), and is absent from the Genome Aggregation Database, indicating it is not a common polymorphism. Computational analyses are uncertain whether this variant is neutral or deleterious (REVEL: 0.544). Due to limited information, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain at this time.

Significance: Uncertain significance

Collection Method: clinical testing

In the published literature, this variant has been reported in individuals with normal hematological characterizations (PMID: 5870555 (1965), 5169069 (1971)), as well as individuals with diabetes (PMID: 25109349 (2014)), and individuals with hypochromic microcytic anemia (PMID: 23402770 (2013)). This variant is reported as having normal stability and normal cell morphology (PMID: 5870555 (1965), 5169069 (1971)). This variant has not been reported in large, multi-ethnic general populations (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). Analysis of this variant using bioinformatics tools for the prediction of the effect of amino acid changes on protein structure and function yielded predictions that this variant is benign. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -
