ARUP Laboratories, Molecular Genetics and Genomics, ARUP Laboratories	RCV001284150	SCV001157598	pathogenic	not provided	2022-10-10	criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	The Hb Tarrant variant (HBA2: c.379G>A; p.Asp127Asn, also known as Asp126Asn when numbered from the mature protein, rs33933481, HbVar ID: 188) has been described in healthy individuals or individuals with mild erythrocytosis as a heterozygote and more severe erythrocytosis as a homozygote (Ibarra 1981, Ip 2016, HbVar database). The aspartate at residue 127 is located at the alpha1-alpha2 interface and forms salt bridges with Arg142 on the opposite dimer (Wajcman 2005). Variants in this region commonly lead to high oxygen affinity and reduced cooperativity (Wajcman 2005), which has been observed for the Hb Tarrant variant (Moo-Penn 1977). This variant is reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 15662) and is found on a single chromosome in the Genome Aggregation Database, indicating it is not a common polymorphism. Based on available information, this variant is considered to be pathogenic dominant for mild erythrocytosis.

Quest Diagnostics Nichols Institute San Juan Capistrano	RCV001284150	SCV001469776	pathogenic	not provided	2020-09-09	criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	The variant found in at least one symptomatic individual. The variant occurs in multiple cases with a lone recessive pathogenic/likely pathogenic variant in the same gene, and several have a phenotype known to be consistent with disease. The variant has been shown to be damaging to protein function(s) relevant to disease mechanism. The variant predicted to have a damaging effect on the protein.
