Genes affected

HBA2 (HGNC:4824): (hemoglobin subunit alpha 2) 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.

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Quest Diagnostics Nichols Institute San Juan Capistrano	Aug 03, 2022	This variant disrupts the translation stop codon of the HBA2 mRNA and is predicted to cause HBA2 protein elongation. The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.000004 (1/248882 chromosomes, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org), is consistent with pathogenicity. In the published literature, the variant has been associated with alpha-thalassemia (PMIDs: 26365411 (2015), 19373587 (2009), 1802886 (1991), 1155453 (1975)). Based on the available information, this variant is classified as pathogenic. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	ARUP Laboratories, Molecular Genetics and Genomics, ARUP Laboratories	Sep 18, 2021	The Hb Koya Dora variant (HBA2: c.428A>C; p.Ter143SerextTer31 also known as Ter142Ser when numbered from the mature protein, rs41321345) is reported in the heterozygous state associated with mild anemia and hypochromia (see link to HbVar). This variant is absent from the Genome Aggregation Database, indicating it is not a common polymorphism. This variant abolishes the canonical termination codon, resulting in an elongated protein that is unstable, similar to other stop loss variants (Hb Constant Spring, Hb Icaria)(see HbVar links and references therein). Based on available information, this variant is considered to be pathogenic.

The stop lost c.428A>C p.Ter143SerextTer31 variant in the HBA2 gene has been reported in compound heterozygous state in a patient with Alpha-thalassemia Deshpande, Prashant et al., 2015. This variant is reported with the allele frequency 0.0004% in the gnomAD Exomes and novel in 1000 Genomes. The variant is reported to ClinVar as Pathogenic. The p.Ter143SerextTer31 variant in the stop codon Ter/* at position 143, changing it to a Serine-codon a no-stop variant and adding a tail of new amino acids to the protein’s C-terminus, ending at a new stop codon Ter/* at position 31. This variant is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function through protein truncation. Loss of function variants have been previously reported to be disease causing. The amino acid change p.Ter143SerextTer31 in HBA2 is predicted as conserved by GERP++ and PhyloP across 100 vertebrates. Functional studies are required to prove the pathogenicity of the variant. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. -
