ARUP Laboratories, Molecular Genetics and Genomics, ARUP Laboratories RCV001001102 SCV001158239 uncertain significance not specified 2019-02-20 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The HBA2: c.24G>T; p.Lys8Asn variant (also known as Lys7Asn when numbered from the mature protein, rs281860604), to our knowledge, is not reported in the medical literature or gene-specific databases. However, a variant causing the same amino acid substitution (Hb Tatras: c.24G>C; p.Lys8Asn) is reported in the literature in an asymptomatic heterozygous individual with a normal hematological profile (Wajcman 1994, HbVar database). The c.24G>T variant is absent from general population databases (Exome Variant Server, Genome Aggregation Database), indicating it is not a common polymorphism. The lysine at codon 8 is moderately conserved, and computational analyses (SIFT, PolyPhen-2) predict that this variant is deleterious, although these predictions are low-confidence for the HBA2 gene. However, due to limited information, the clinical significance of the c.24G>T; p.Lys8Asn variant is uncertain at this time.
