Variant summary: HBA1 c.358C>T (p.Pro120Ser) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the Globin domain (IPR000971) of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 5.7e-05 in 247332 control chromosomes (gnomAD). This frequency is not significantly higher than expected for a pathogenic variant in HBA1 causing Alpha Thalassemia (5.7e-05 vs 0.0056), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.358C>T has been reported in the literature in multiple compound heterozygous and homozygous individuals affected with Alpha Thalassemia (e.g. Giordano_2007, Zanella-Cleon_2008, Joly_2014). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. In vitro binding assays indicate that while the variant protein is capable of forming dimers, it does not interact with alpha hemoglobin stabilizing proteins or beta subunits, leading to destabilization and increased proteolytic degredation (Yu_2009). Four ClinVar submitters have assessed the variant since 2014: two classified the variant as likely pathogenic, and two as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

Also reported as Hb Groene Hart [119(H2)Pro>Ser (1); HBA1: c.358C>T]; Observed in the heterozygous state in alpha thalassemia carriers or patients with mild phenotypes (Giambona A et al., 2008; Cardiero G et al., 2020); Published functional studies demonstrate a damaging effect on the interaction with alpha hemoglobin stabilizing protein and the beta subunit (Yu X et al., 2009; Wajcman H et al., 2011); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 21950764, 12403490, 25130136, 18603555, 23806011, 17486500, 19349619, 24111644, 32751969, 31553106, 26485748) -
The HBA1 c.358C>T (p.Pro120Ser) variant has been reported in the heterozygous and compound heterozygous state in individuals with mild alpha-thalassemia phenotype (PMIDs: 26485748 (2016), 24111644 (2014), 16370486 (2005), 12403490 (2002)). Individuals who are homozygous for this variant present with microcytic hypochromic anemia (PMIDs: 24111644 (2014), 17486500 (2007)). Experimental studies indicate this variant disrupts binding of the alpha globin chains to the AHSP (alpha hemoglobin stabilizing protein) and results in an unstable hemoglobin complex (PMIDs: 21950764 (2011), 19349619 (2009), 17052927(2006)). Based on the available information, this variant is classified as pathogenic. -
The HBA1 c.358C>T; p.Pro120Ser variant (Hb Groene Hart, also known as Pro119Ser when numbered from the mature protein, rs63750751, HbVar ID: 1123) has been described in the compound heterozygous or homozygous state in individuals affected with alpha thalassemia, and in the heterozygous state in individuals with microcytosis and hypochromia (see link to HbVar, Giordano 2007, Harteveld 2002, Joly 2014, Yu 2009, Zanella-Cleon 2008). This variant is found in the general population with an overall allele frequency of 0.0057% (16/278694 alleles) in the Genome Aggregation Database. Functional studies of the variant protein demonstrate impaired binding to alpha hemoglobin stabilizing protein and beta globin, leading to destabilization and increased proteolytic degradation (Yu 2009). Based on available information, this variant is considered pathogenic. REFERENCES Link to HbVar: https://globin.bx.psu.edu/hbvar/menu.html Giordano P et al.

HBA1-related disorder Pathogenic:1
The HBA1 c.358C>T variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Pro120Ser. This variant is also referred to as p.Pro119Ser or Hb Groene Hart. This variant has been reported in the heterozygous state in a father and son with microcytic hypochromic anemia (Harteveld et al. 2002. PubMed ID: 12403490) and in the homozygous state and in the heterozygous state along with an -α3.7 deletion in patients with alpha thalassemia (Joly et al. 2013. PubMed ID: 24111644; Giordano et al. 2007. PubMed ID: 174865000). This variant is reported in 0.020% of alleles in individuals of Latino descent in gnomAD. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -
