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'.

not specified Uncertain:2
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingARUP Laboratories, Molecular Genetics and Genomics, ARUP LaboratoriesNov 28, 2018The HBB c.*93A>T variant (rs901033731), to our knowledge, is not reported in the medical literature or gene specific databases. This variant occurs in the 3' untranslated region at a nucleotide that is weakly conserved. It occurs 15bp upstream of the poly(A) signal, so does not directly alter the signal sequence. It does not introduce any cryptic splice signals. Although there is no evidence predicting that this alteration is deleterious, functional and/or genetic studies would be needed to determine its clinical significance with certainty. -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpMay 17, 2024Variant summary: HBB c.*93A>T is located in the untranslated mRNA region downstream of the termination codon. The variant was absent in 31406 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.*93A>T in individuals affected with Hemoglobinopathy and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 619851). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -
