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'.

Variant summary: HBB c.316-146T>G (Legacy Name: IVS-II-705 (T->G)) is located at a position not widely known to affect splicing. However, several computational tools predict a significant impact on normal splicing: Three predict the variant strengthens a cryptic 5' donor site and one predicts the variant creates a 3' acceptor site. Gorman_1998 states "In the thalassemic IVS2705 human b-globin gene, a T-to-G mutation at position 705 of intron 2 improves the match of the surrounding sequence to the consensus donor splice site (ACTGAT/GTAAGA to ACTGAG/GTAAGA; / indicates the splice site). In the transcribed IVS2705 pre-mRNA, the presence of this new 5' splice site activates an acceptor splice site 126 nt upstream, resulting in incorrectly spliced b-globin mRNA containing a fragment of the intron (Fig. 1A). This fragment creates a premature stop codon resulting in a truncated b-globin polypeptide." Multiple functional studies support these predictions (Dobkin_1983, Spenc_1982, and Gorman_1998). The variant was absent in 30972 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The variant, c.316-146T>G, has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Beta Thalassemia Intermedia. These data indicate that the variant may be associated with disease. A ClinVar submission (evaluation after 2014) from a clinical diagnostic laboratory classifies the variant as "pathogenic." Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

The HBB c.316-146T>G variant has been reported in the published literature in individuals with beta-thalassemia trait (PMID: 29251008 (2018)) and in trans with another pathogenic HBB variant in an individual with beta(+) thalassemia (PMID: 30843739 (2019)). This variant has not been reported in large, multi-ethnic general populations (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). Based on the available information, this variant is classified as pathogenic. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The HBB c.316-146T>G variant (also known as IVS-II-705 (T->G), rs35328027, HbVar ID: 890) has been reported in a patient diagnosed with beta(+) thalassemia (Spence 1982). This variant is reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 36312) and is absent from the Genome Aggregation Database, indicating it is not a common polymorphism. This is an intronic variant in a moderately conserved nucleotide, and computational analyses (Alamut v.2.11) predict that this variant may impact splicing by creating a novel cryptic donor splice site. Functional characterization of the mRNA transcript indicate that the variant causes the utilization of a cryptic splice acceptor 126 nucleotides upstream, leading to the inclusion of sequences from intron 2 of HBB (Dobkin 1983). Based on the above information, the variant is classified as pathogenic. References: HbVar link: https://globin.bx.psu.edu/hbvar/hbvar.html Dobkin C et al.
