Variant summary

Our verdict is . The variant received 6 classification points (ACMG Germline Pathogenicity v2019): 8P and 2B. PS3PP5_StrongBP4_Moderate

The ENST00000647020.1(HBB):c.-151C>T variant causes a 5 prime UTR premature start codon gain change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a cumulative frequency of 0.0000957 (AC=66) in the gnomAD database across 689,530 control chromosomes, including 1 homozygote. The grpmax filtering allele frequency (95% CI) is 0.000571. In-silico predictor (BayesDel (noAF)) classifies this variant as likely benign. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic/Likely Pathogenic (★★). ClinVar reports functional evidence for this variant: "SCV000697087: This variant decreased promoter activity by 70% (Gonzalez-Redondo_1989)." and additional evidence is available in ClinVar.

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'.

Classification according to ACMG Germline Pathogenicity v2019

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Likely_pathogenic. The variant received 6 points.

PS3
Well-established functional study supports damaging effect (PS3); SCV000697087: This variant decreased promoter activity by 70% (Gonzalez-Redondo_1989).; SCV004847530: "In vitro functional studies support an impact on promoter activity" PMID:2713503; SCV000961462: Studies have shown that this variant alters HBB gene expression (PMID: 2713503).; SCV001470514: A functional study indicate this variant results in reduced HBB promoter activity (PMID: 2713503 (1989)).; SCV002574669: Published functional studies demonstrate a significant loss of function (Gonzalez-Redondo et al., 1989);; SCV004724943: This variant is predicted to disrupt the CACCC promoter motif and has been reported to be causative for Beta-Thalassemia in the presence of a second pathogenic allele (Gonzalez-Redondo et al. 1989. PubMed ID: 2713503; Rund et al. 1997. PubMed ID: 8980256; Ristaldi et al. 1999. PubMed ID: 10575515).
PP5
ClinVar 2-star pathogenic — strong (PP5); ClinVar submissions overwhelmingly pathogenic (≥10 total, ≥80% P/LP, <10% B/LB) — strong (PP5, count-based); ClinVar germline classification: Pathogenic/Likely Pathogenic, 2 star(s). ClinVar submissions strongly and reliably favor pathogenicity (15/16 total P/LP).
BP4
Computational evidence supports benign — no pathogenic computational or splicing signal (BP4); No splicing predictor data available.; Germline computational verdict: benign (Moderate).
