However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00072 in 249984 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.0097 within the East Asian subpopulation in the gnomAD database, including 2 homozygotes. This frequency is close to that estimated for a pathogenic variant in HBB causing Hemoglobinopathy (0.0097 vs 0.011) suggesting this variant is possibly a benign polymorphism primarily found in the East Asian subpopulation. To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.316-45G>C in individuals affected with Hemoglobinopathy and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. Two clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All laboratories classified the variant as benign/likely benign. Additionally, both the LOVD (locus specific database for HBB) and the IthaNet databases report this variant with a classification of benign/neutral polymorphism respectively. We have followed this variant for over three years since its initial observation at our laboratory and previously classified this variant as VUS-possibly benign due to the absence of clinical and functional evidence supporting an actionable outcome. However, the emerging consensus seem to converge on a benign outcome. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was re-classified as benign.
