Loss-of-function variants in HBA2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 12393486, 27199182). Although HBA2 is associated with autosomal recessive disease, a closely related gene called HBA1, when present, can compensate for the loss of HBA2. Disruption of 1 or 2 of the 4 copies of the HBA1 and HBA2 genes is typically associated with no symptoms or very mild symptoms, while disruption of at least 3 of the 4 copies is associated with overt disease (PMID: 19618088, 21381239). Consistent with this, single gene deletions of HBA2 have been observed on the opposite chromosome (in trans) from deletions encompassing both HBA1 and HBA2 in individuals with HbH disease (PMID: 12393486, 23289204). Deletions encompassing both HBA1 and HBA2, sometimes along with other nearby genes, have been reported in many individuals affected with alpha-thalassemia and related diseases (PMID: 1520607, 7734346, 12393486, 27492767). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. (less)
