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

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 18 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 9 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 2 benign, 25 uncertain in NM_000518.5
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr11-5225606-A-T is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 633256.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.978
• PP5: Variant 11-5225605-T-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr11-5225605-T-C is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 15322.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Not found in the total gnomAD dataset, and the data is high quality. Conflicting predictions of the effect on the protein. Other pathogenic or likely pathogenic variants affect the same amino acid. Assessment of experimental evidence suggests this variant results in abnormal protein function. Very strong co-segregation with disease, and data include affected and unaffected individuals from multiple families. -

The Hb Rainier variant (HBB: c.437A>G; p.Tyr146Cys, also known as Tyr145Cys when numbered from the mature protein, rs35117167) is reported in the literature in the heterozygous state in multiple individuals affected with erythrocytosis (see link to HbVar and references therein, Adamson 1969). This variant is reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 15322), and is absent from general population databases (Exome Variant Server, Genome Aggregation Database), indicating it is not a common polymorphism. The tyrosine at codon 146 is highly conserved, and functional analyses of the variant protein show increased oxygen affinity (see link to HbVar, Adamson 1969). Additionally, other amino acid substitutions at this codon (Hb Nancy, Hb Osler, Hb Bethesda, Hb McKees Rocks) have been reported in individuals with erythrocytosis and are considered pathogenic (HbVar IDs: 570, 572, 573, 574), and several hemoglobin variants with high oxygen affinity leading to erythrocytosis are located at the carboxy-terminal end of the HBB gene (Wajcman 2004). Based on available information, the Hb Rainier variant is considered to be pathogenic.
