Genes affected
HBD (HGNC:4829): (hemoglobin subunit delta) The delta (HBD) and beta (HBB) genes are normally expressed in the adult: two alpha chains plus two beta chains constitute HbA, which in normal adult life comprises about 97% of the total hemoglobin. Two alpha chains plus two delta chains constitute HbA-2, which with HbF comprises the remaining 3% of adult hemoglobin. Five beta-like globin genes are found within a 45 kb cluster on chromosome 11 in the following order: 5'-epsilon--Ggamma--Agamma--delta--beta-3'. Mutations in the delta-globin gene are associated with beta-thalassemia. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

ACMG classification

Classification made for transcript

Verdict is Uncertain_significance. Variant got 5 ACMG points.

PP5
Variant 11-5234551-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr11-5234551-G-A is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 1163920.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
BP4
Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.66). . Strength limited to SUPPORTING due to the PP5.
BS1
Variant frequency is greater than expected in population sas. gnomad4 allele frequency = 0.000768 (117/152290) while in subpopulation SAS AF= 0.0234 (113/4824). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.0199. There are 1 homozygotes in gnomad4. There are 83 alleles in male gnomad4 subpopulation. Median coverage is 32. This position pass quality control queck. Existence of Clinvar submissions makes me limit the strength of this signal to Supporting
BS2
High Homozygotes in GnomAdExome4 at 35 AR geneVariant has number of homozygotes lower than other variant known as pathogenic in the gene, so the strength is limited to Supporting.

Significance: Pathogenic
Review Status: no assertion criteria provided
Collection Method: research

The variant rs549964658, present in the 2KB_upstream of HBD gene. The variant has been identified as beta thalassemia carrier. In this case, the person having this variant is the father of Index case of Thalassemia, having HbA2 level of 2.8%( bellow 3.5%) . Though he also posses thalassemia career [ mutation of IVS 1-5 (G>C) ] masking the level of A2 for the presence of this delta mutation. For this ambiguous HPLC profile, we did target NGS of entire Bet globin gene cluster and found this delta mutation present along the other beta mutation IVS 1-5 (G>C) ]. Further clinical investigation,shows the person having Hb level 11.7g/dl which confirm the anemia state. -

Significance: Likely pathogenic
Review Status: no assertion criteria provided
Collection Method: clinical testing

The HBD c.-118C>T variant is located in the 5' untranslated region. This variant, also referred to as c.-68C>T, has been reported in multiple individuals with delta-thalassemia (Table 1, Bouva et al. 2006. PubMed ID: 16434382; Alkindi et al. 2014. PubMed ID: 25043855; Table 2, Hanart et al. 2023. PubMed ID: 37276945). This variant is reported in one allele out of ~31,000 alleles in gnomAD. An in vitro experimental study suggests this variant reduces the expression of HBD protein (Figure 1, Alsultan et al. 2012. PubMed ID: 22641479). This variant is classified as pathogenic in ClinVar (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/1163920/). This variant is interpreted as likely pathogenic. -
