RCV001811143 | SCV002050256 | benign | not provided | 2024-11-13 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | The HBG2 c.-211C>T variant (rs7482144, rs1060499525, HbVar ID: 3260), also known as -158C>T and XmnI, is a common variant in the 5' untranslated region. While not associated with hereditary persistence of fetal hemoglobin (HPFH) in healthy adults, this variant has been described as a modifier of beta-thalassemia (Ma 2007, Nguyen 2010) and beta-globin variants such as Hb S (Akinbami 2016) due to its association with increased levels of HbF. This variant is also reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 14984) and is found in the general population with an overall allele frequency of 20.7% (at least 6412/30916 alleles) in the Genome Aggregation Database. Based on available information, this variant is considered to be benign. References: Link to HbVar database: https://globin.bx.psu.edu/hbvar/menu.html Akinbami AO et al.
