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'.

Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingARUP Laboratories, Molecular Genetics and Genomics, ARUP LaboratoriesOct 17, 2023The Hb New York variant (HBB: c.341T>A; p.Val114Glu, also known as Val113Glu when numbered from the mature protein, HbVar ID: 491) is reported in the heterozygous state in individuals with no associated hematological symptoms, and did not affect clinical symptoms when occurring in-trans with beta thalassemia or hemoglobin E, or when coinherited with alpha thalassemia trait (Chaibunruang 2018, Ranney 1967, Todd 1980, HbVar database and references therein). However, this variant is reported to contribute to a clinically significant sickling disorder in individuals who also carry the hemoglobin S allele (Calder 2012, McFarlane 2011). This variant is reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 15286), and is only observed on six alleles in the Genome Aggregation Database, indicating it is not a common polymorphism. The valine at codon 114 is highly conserved, and results in a mildly unstable variant protein and reduced oxygen affinity (HbVar database and references therein). Based on available information, the Hb New York variant is considered likely pathogenic for sickling disease when found with HbS, although there is no evidence that it is disease-associated alone or in trans with a beta-thalassemia variant.

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxNov 21, 2022Reported in unrelated patients with features of sickle cell trait; however, these patients also harbored the c.20A>T common variant (McFarlane et al., 2011; Calder et al., 2012); Also observed in patients referred for carrier screening and have normal hemoglobin testing (Lin et al., 2013; van Zwieten et al., 2014; Lou et al., 2014; Huang et al., 2019); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; Also known as Hb New York or Hb Kaohsiung; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 24200101, 24099628, 1428942, 12403232, 28865746, 24055728, 19631632, 18432506, 1634358, 25089872, 31980563, 29626415, 36053226, 22010933, 19429541, 30837609, 29464999, 28143837, 24985555, 23346429, 23383304) -

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpMay 27, 2021Variant summary: HBB c.341T>A (p.Val114Glu) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00051 in 630098 control chromosomes. This frequency is not significantly higher than expected for a pathogenic variant in HBB causing Hemoglobinopathy (0.00051 vs 0.011), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. Compound heterozygotes of c.341T>A and a beta thalassmia mutation have been reported in the literature in individuals affected with sickling disorder symptoms (McFarlane_2011). However, similar compound heterozygotes have been reported in patients without significant clinical symptoms (Zeng_1982, Lee_2008). In addition, compound heterozygotes of c.341T>A and an alpha-thalassemia allele have also been reported in patients without significant clinical symptoms (Ranney_1967, Chaibunruang_2018). Two clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. Both laboratories classified the variant as uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as VUS-possibly pathogenic. -
