Variants pathogenicity by type

Statistics on ClinVar variants can assist in determining whether a specific variant type in the HAMP gene is commonly pathogenic or not. These statistics are base on transcript: NM_000021175.4. Only rare variants are included in the table.

In the table, we include only reliable ClinVar variants with their consequences to MANE Select, Mane Plus Clinical transcripts, or transcripts with TSL equals 1. Click the count to view the source variants.

Warning: slight differences between displayed counts and the number of variants in ClinVar may occur, primarily due to (1) the application of a different transcript and/or consequence by our variant effect predictor or (2) differences in clinical significance: we classify Benign/Likely benign variants as Likely benign and Pathogenic/Likely pathogenic variants as Likely pathogenic.

Function
FUNCTION: Liver-produced hormone that constitutes the main circulating regulator of iron absorption and distribution across tissues. Acts by promoting endocytosis and degradation of ferroportin, leading to the retention of iron in iron-exporting cells and decreased flow of iron into plasma. Controls the major flows of iron into plasma: absorption of dietary iron in the intestine, recycling of iron by macrophages, which phagocytose old erythrocytes and other cells, and mobilization of stored iron from hepatocytes (PubMed:22306005). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:22306005}.;
Disease
DISEASE: Hemochromatosis 2B (HFE2B) [MIM:613313]: A juvenile form of hemochromatosis, a disorder of iron metabolism with excess deposition of iron in a variety of organs leading to their failure, bronze skin pigmentation, hepatic cirrhosis, arthropathy and diabetes. The most common symptoms of juvenile hemochromatosis at presentation are hypogonadism and cardiomyopathy. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12915468, ECO:0000269|PubMed:14630809, ECO:0000269|PubMed:14633868, ECO:0000269|PubMed:14670915, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15099344}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.;
