Description

In this abnormal hemoglobin, found by isoelectric focusing in a hematologically normal though diabetic Maltese woman living in Marseille, Blouquit et al. (1984, 1985) demonstrated a double abnormality: a methionyl residue extending the NH2 terminus. This is an example of the increasing number of hemoglobin variants detected in the course of HbA1c evaluation in diabetics. Without DNA data, the authors concluded that proline in position 2 constitutes a steric impairment to the methionyl peptidase that normally eliminates the initiating methionine. The same hypothesis has been invoked to explain the apparent persistence of the initiator methionyl residue in naturally occurring proteins with a met-X sequence at the NH2-terminus, X being either a charged amino acid or a proline. Initial sequence, with abnormal residues in parentheses, equals H2N-(met)-val-(pro)-leu-thr-glu-glu-. Prchal et al. (1986) showed that the only lesion in DNA is an adenine-to-cytosine transversion in the second codon. Also see Barwick et al. (1985). Boi et al. (1989) detected this variant in Australia in the course of monitoring glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) in diabetics. It causes a discrepancy between the HbA1c measurement and the clinical state of the diabetic patient.

Description

Variant summary: HBB c.8A>C (p.His3Pro), also known as Hb Long Island-Marseille and Hb Agrigente in the literature and variant databases, results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the Globin domain (IPR000971) of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant was absent in 251140 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.8A>C has been reported in the literature as an abnormal hemoglobin detected during HbA1C evaluation in diabetic patients who were otherwise hematologically normal (Barwick_1985, Blouquit_1984, Boi_1989, Wei_2019). These reports do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Hemoglobinopathy. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance until additional clinical and functional evidence becomes available.
