Genes affected

FECH (HGNC:3647): (ferrochelatase) The protein encoded by this gene is localized to the mitochondrion, where it catalyzes the insertion of the ferrous form of iron into protoporphyrin IX in the heme synthesis pathway. Mutations in this gene are associated with erythropoietic protoporphyria. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. A pseudogene of this gene is found on chromosome 3.[provided by RefSeq, May 2010]

FECH Gene-Disease associations (from GenCC):

• protoporphyria, erythropoietic, 1

  Inheritance: AR Classification: DEFINITIVE, STRONG Submitted by: Genomics England PanelApp, Laboratory for Molecular Medicine, ClinGen, Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae)
• autosomal erythropoietic protoporphyria

  Inheritance: AD Classification: SUPPORTIVE Submitted by: Orphanet

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Likely_benign. The variant received -2 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.82).
