Fetal hydrops
Gene: HBA2Comment when marking as ready: Rated as green, and mode of inheritance complete.Created: 19 Dec 2016, 3:01 p.m.
Comment on mode of inheritance: Updated to biallelic based on Expert review and PMID:26757782.Created: 19 Dec 2016, 2:54 p.m.
Comment on list classification: Updated rating from Red to Green: Three expert reviews. Although most mutations are deletions, point mutations are also reported in HBA2. After a discussion with the clinical team, it was therefore agreed to update the rating to Green.Created: 19 Dec 2016, 2:51 p.m.
PMID:27686733 (Yang et al., 2016) report a rare case of a fetus who was compound heterozygote for Hb Zurich-Albisrieden [HBA2: c.178G > C; α59(E8)Gly→Arg (α2)] and the - -SEA α0-thal deletion. This is a rare case of Hb Bart's hydrops fetalis associated with Hb Zurich Albisrieden.Created: 19 Dec 2016, 2:50 p.m.
PMID:26757782 (Hey et al., 2016) report a homozygous c.427T > C nucleotide substitution in a fetus presenting with Fetal hydrops.Created: 19 Dec 2016, 2:44 p.m.
Comment on mode of pathogenicity: Almost all cases of alpha-thalassemia result from homozygous deletion of the HBA1 (OMIM:141800) and HBA2 (OMIM:141850) genes.Created: 19 Dec 2016, 2:33 p.m.
Comment on phenotypes: Haven't included OMIM:141850 in the Phenotype list, because this is the OMIM ID for the HBA2 gene.Created: 15 Dec 2016, 12:11 p.m.

21 December 2016. External reviews were assessed, and panel was revised according to expert review, internal discussion and additional curation. Following internal discussion, all genes from the V1.14 'RASopathies' panel were added as green EXCLUDING NF1 and SPRED1- a cautious approach was taken because Fetal hydrops is a fetal panel. All relevant genes from the 'Mucopolysaccharideosis, Gaucher, Fabry' V1.0 panel (lysosomal storage disorders) were also added to the Fetal hydrops panel as green together with genes from the literature where there is a reasonable link between the corresponding lysosomal storage disorder (LSD) and Fetal hydrops. All PEX genes from the V1.2 'Peroxisomal disorders' panel were added as green based on a link between peroxisomal biogenesis disorders and Fetal hydrops.
This gene has been classified as Green List (High Evidence).
