Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. Variant got 8 ACMG points: 8P and 0B. PM1PM2PP3_Strong

The NM_000558.5(HBA1):c.337C>G(p.His113Asp) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000118 in 1,613,010 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. 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. H113R) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

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.

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingARUP Laboratories, Molecular Genetics and Genomics, ARUP LaboratoriesNov 17, 2022The Hb Hopkins-II variant (HBA1 c.337C>G; p.His113Asp, also known as His112Asp when numbered from the mature protein, rs34830032, HbVar ID: 173) is reported in the literature without clinical information (see HbVar link and references therein). This variant is reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 15745), and is only observed on one allele in the Genome Aggregation Database, indicating it is not a common polymorphism. The histidine at codon 113 is highly conserved, and computational are uncertain whether this variant is neutral or deleterious (REVEL: 0.535). Due to limited information, the clinical significance of the Hb Hopkins-II variant is uncertain at this time. References: Link to HbVar: https://globin.bx.psu.edu/hbvar/hbvar.html -
