Description

This HBB variant (rs33930165) reaches polymorphic frequency (>1%) within the African/African American subpopulation in a large population dataset (gnomAD: 335/24966 total alleles, 1.342%, 1 homozygote) and has been reported in ClinVar. Also known as p.Glu6Lys and HbC, it has been reported in a homozygous or compound heterozygous state in individuals with beta-hemoglobinopathies. Heterozygosity for p.Glu7Lys in the absence of another pathogenic HBB variant results in Hemoglobin C trait (HbAC), which is clinically silent. Two bioinformatic tools queried predict that this substitution would tolerated, but experimental studies have shown that this variant affects the physical and kinetic properties of the hemoglobin protein. Bioinformatic analysis predicts that this missense variant would not affect normal exon 1 splicing, although this has not been confirmed experimentally to our knowledge. We consider c.19G>A (p.Glu7Lys) to be pathogenic.
