Variant summary
Our verdict is Uncertain significance. Variant got 3 ACMG points: 4P and 1B. PM2PP3_ModerateBP6
The NM_000558.5(HBA1):c.349G>A(p.Glu117Lys) variant causes a missense change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000558 in 1,613,142 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, including 1 homozygotes. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. E117A) has been classified as Likely benign.

Variant summary: HBA1 c.349G>A (p.Glu117Lys) results in a conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Two of four in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 8.1e-06 in 246712 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.349G>A has been reported in the literature in heterozygous individuals who were asymptomatic and/or had mild phenotypes such as anemia without strong evidence of causality (e.g. Molchanova_1994, Daud_2001, Nair_2010, Saechan_2010, Chopra_2011, Bayat_2013). These reports do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Alpha Thalassemia. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 7803274, 11558897, 20100235, 23402770, 20574732, 20838957). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 15793). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

The Hb O-Indonesia variant (HBA1: c.349G>A; p.Glu117Lys, also known as Glu116Lys when numbered from the mature protein, rs63749882, HbVar ID: 180) is reported in the literature in the heterozygous state in individuals with no clinical symptoms (Chopra 2011, Nair 2010, see HbVar and references therein). However, the phenotype of this variant in the presence of other alpha globin variants is unknown. This variant has been reported to have lower HbO levels than expected, suggesting protein instability; however, in vitro studies have shown the protein to be stable (see HbVar). This variant is only observed on two alleles in the Genome Aggregation Database, indicating it is not a common polymorphism. Computational analyses are uncertain whether this variant is neutral or deleterious (REVEL: 0.673). Based on available information, this variant is considered to be likely benign.
