RCV004548630 | SCV004102627 | pathogenic | alpha Thalassemia | 2022-09-02 | no assertion criteria provided | clinical testing | This variant was detected in a male patient with hypochromic microcytic anaemia (Hb 131-141g/L, MCV 75-76fL, MCH 24.2-24.5pg). Haemoglobin electrophoresis showed 2 abnormal bands after the A2 position. This c.320T>G variant, leading to a missense change p.(Leu107Arg) in the haemoglobin alpha 2 subunit (HBA2), has not been reported in literature. This variant has not been observed in population database. A different missense variant at the same amino acid position, p.(Leu106Pro) in the homologous haemoglobin alpha 1 subunit (HBA1), also known as Hb Charlieu, also causes microcytosis and hypochromia without anaaemia. |
