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'.

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxDec 10, 2021In vitro RNA and functional studies demonstrate a damaging effect with the creation of an alternative splice site causing abnormal gene splicing (Busslinger et al., 1981).; Also known as IVS-I-110G>A; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 6264391, 21797703, 25087612, 22975760, 28670940, 27979672, 31456457, 31130284, 21228398, 26372288, 1967205, 26016902, 1390250, 6895866, 6264477, 28391758, 28366028, 28667000, 14555304, 9163586, 31589614, 15609277, 9629495, 12702481, 2577233) -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingARUP Laboratories, Molecular Genetics and Genomics, ARUP LaboratoriesNov 24, 2023The HBB c.93-21G>A variant (rs35004220, ClinVar ID: 15454, HbVar ID: 827), also known as IVS-I-110 G>A, is reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with beta+ thalassemia (Carrocini 2017, Hussain 2017, Jalilian 2017). This variant is one of the most common beta-thalassemia alleles in Mediterranean and Middle-Eastern countries (Kaplan 1990, HbVar database and references therein). Based on available information, this variant is considered to be pathogenic. References: Link to HbVar database: https://globin.bx.psu.edu/hbvar/hbvar.html Carrocini GCS et al.

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpJan 22, 2024This sequence change falls in intron 1 of the HBB gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the HBB protein. This variant is present in population databases (rs35004220, gnomAD 0.03%). This variant has been observed in individual(s) with HBB-related conditions (PMID: 1967205, 2200760, 28366028, 28391758). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. This variant is also known as IVS-I-110G>A. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 15454). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant is not likely to affect RNA splicing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submittercurationBroad Center for Mendelian Genomics, Broad Institute of MIT and HarvardMay 02, 2023The heterozygous c.93-21G>A variant in HBB was identified by our study in four affected members of one family with beta thalassemia. The c.93-21G>A variant in HBB has been identified in over 160 individuals with beta thalassemia (‚Äã‚ÄãPMID: 6264477, PMID: 6264391, PMID: 24106605, PMID: 28391758, PMID: 1390250, PMID: 2200760), but has been identified in 0.03% (37/128830) of European (non-Finnish) chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP ID: rs35004220). Although this variant has been seen in the general population in a heterozygous state, its frequency is low enough to be consistent with a recessive carrier frequency. This variant has also been reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 15454) and has been interpreted as pathogenic by multiple submitters. Of these 160 individuals, 138 were homozygotes (PMID: 1390250, PMID: 28391758, PMID: 24106605, PMID: 2200760), and 11 were compound heterozygotes who carried pathogenic or likely pathogenic variants in trans (PMID: 2200760, ClinVar Variation ID: 15436, ClinVar Variation ID: 15402, ClinVar Variation ID: 15457, ClinVar Variation ID: 15239; PMID: 6264391, ClinVar Variation ID: 15060; PMID: 24106605, ClinVar Variation ID: 15402, ClinVar Variation ID: 15415), which increases the likelihood that the c.93-21G>A variant is pathogenic. RT-PCR analysis of RNA from affected tissue shows evidence of altered splicing of exon 2, resulting in 19bp insertion, frameshift, and premature truncation (PMID: 16421096); altered splicing was also seen in HeLa cells (PMID: 6895866) and in a humanized mouse model (PMID: 16421096). This variant is located in the 3' splice region. Computational tools predict a splicing impact, though this information is not predictive enough to determine pathogenicity. In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for autosomal recessive beta thalassemia. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PS3, PM2_Supporting, PM3_VeryStrong (Richards 2015). -

It was observed to be in trans with the other variant (3billion dataset). The variant has been reported at least twice as pathogenic/likely pathogenic with clinical assertions and evidence for the classification (ClinVar ID: VCV000015454). It is observed at an extremely low frequency in the gnomAD v2.1.1 dataset (total allele frequency: 0.0001668). Therefore, this variant is classified as pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline. -

This mutation was first described in an individual of Turkish Cypriot origin with severe thalassemia intermedia who was compound heterozygous for another pathogenic HBB mutation (Westaway D, Williamson R. Nucleic Acids Res. 1981;9:1777-1788). In a population of Turkish patients affected with beta thalassemia major, 33 individuals were homozygous for this pathogenic mutation and the allele frequency in some Turkish subpopulations is as high as 75% of disease alleles (Fettah A et al. Mediterr J Hematol Infect Dis. 2013;5(1):e2013055 and Baysal et al. Br J Haematol. 1992;81(4):607-9. ). RT-PCR studies from mRNA in both human samples and mouse models demonstrated the presence of aberrant splicing, with 90% of transcripts with abnormal splicing in homozygous mice (Vadolas J. J Biol Chem. 2006 Mar 17;281(11):7399-405). Based on the supporting evidence, c.93-21G>A is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
