RCV001293624 | SCV001482250 | pathogenic | Hemoglobinopathy | 2021-02-19 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Variant summary: HBB c.129dupT (p.Glu44X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. Truncations downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory. The variant was absent in 251398 control chromosomes. c.129dupT has been reported in the literature in at least one individual affected with beta-thallasemia (e.g. Oshima_1996). In addition, a different variant, c.130G>T, which results in the same nonsense amino acid change, p.Glu44X, has been reported in multiple individuals with beta-thalassemia or other hemoglobinpathies in the literature (e.g. Tan_2006, Tang_2015, Peng_2020). To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. One other ClinVar submitter (evaluation after 2014) has cited the variant as Pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. |
