Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 10 ACMG points: 10P and 0B. PVS1 PP5_Moderate

The NM_000518.5(HBB):​c.93-21_96delGGTCTATTTTCCCACCCTTAGGCTG​(p.Arg31fs) variant causes a frameshift, splice acceptor, splice region, intron change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. It is difficult to determine the true allele frequency of this variant because it is of type DEL_BIG, and the frequency of such variant types in population databases may be underestimated and unreliable. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. R31null) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

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.93-21_96del25 is located in a canonical splice-site and is predicted to affect mRNA splicing resulting in a significantly altered protein due to either exon skipping, shortening, or inclusion of intronic material. Several computational tools predict a significant impact on normal splicing: five predict the variant abolishes a 3 prime acceptor site. A slightly different variant affecting the same region (c.93-22_95del25) was confirmed by a functional study to affect splicing (Orkin_1983), providing supporting evidence for a pathogenic role of c.93-21_96del25. This variant was absent in 251348 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.93-21_96del25 has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Beta Thalassemia (Hassan_2014, Aldakeel_2019). These data indicate that the variant may be associated with disease. No other clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
