IthaID: 4152

Names and Sequences

Functionality: Globin gene causative mutation Pathogenicity: N/A
Common Name: IVS I-9 (C>T) HGVS Name: HBB:c.92+9C>T
Hb Name: N/A Protein Info: N/A
Also known as:

We follow the HGVS sequence variant nomenclature and IUPAC standards.

Comments: Identified by next-generation sequencing (NGS) using the Devyser Thalassemia panel and confirmed by Sanger sequencing. The patient’s hematological profile is consistent with a β-thalassemia trait phenotype, despite normal Hb A₂ levels (2.8–3.1%). Laboratory findings include microcytosis and hypochromia with normal iron level. In silico analyses (SpliceAI, MaxEntScan, NNSplice) predict disruption of the canonical donor splice site at intron 1, suggesting reduced splicing efficiency. According to ACMG guidelines, the variant is classified as of uncertain significance (VUS), supported by criteria PM2, PP4, and BP6.
