RCV000508141 | SCV001157417 | likely benign | not specified | 2018-10-30 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | The HBA2 c.344C>T; Pro114Leu variant (rs267607269), also known as Hb Nouakchott, has been reported in the heterozygous state in asymptomatic individuals with normal hematological parameters (see link to HbVar and references therein, Pondman 2018). It contains an entry in ClinVar (Variation ID: 439115) and is absent from general population databases (1000 Genomes Project, Exome Variant Server, and Genome Aggregation Database), indicating it is not a common polymorphism. The proline at codon 114 is moderately conserved, but computational algorithms (PolyPhen-2: benign, SIFT: damaging) are inconclusive on the effect of this variant on protein structure and/or function. Based on available information, the Hb Nouakchott variant is considered likely benign.
