Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 11 ACMG points: 12P and 1B. PS3PP5_Very_StrongBP4

The NM_000518.5(HBB):​c.-29G>A variant causes a 5 prime UTR premature start codon gain change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000421 in 1,424,214 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★★). ClinVar reports functional evidence for this variant: "SCV000919459: One publication reports in vitro evidence suggesting that the variant mildly reduces transcription (58% of normal transcription) and is consistent with a mild Beta Thalassemia phenotype (Lewis_2000)." and additional evidence is available in ClinVar.

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

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 11 ACMG points.

PS3
PS3 evidence extracted from ClinVar submissions: SCV000919459: One publication reports in vitro evidence suggesting that the variant mildly reduces transcription (58% of normal transcription) and is consistent with a mild Beta Thalassemia phenotype (Lewis_2000).; SCV003439782: Experimental studies have shown that this variant affects HBB function (PMID: 10840054, 31395865).; SCV003800333: Expression analyses found that this variant decreases transcription by half (Lewis 2000). PMID: 10840054.
PP5
Variant 11-5227050-C-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr11-5227050-C-T is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 393702.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
BP4
Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.47). . Strength limited to SUPPORTING due to the PP5.
