Genes affected

HAMP (HGNC:15598): (hepcidin antimicrobial peptide) The product encoded by this gene is involved in the maintenance of iron homeostasis, and it is necessary for the regulation of iron storage in macrophages, and for intestinal iron absorption. The preproprotein is post-translationally cleaved into mature peptides of 20, 22 and 25 amino acids, and these active peptides are rich in cysteines, which form intramolecular bonds that stabilize their beta-sheet structures. These peptides exhibit antimicrobial activity against bacteria and fungi. Mutations in this gene cause hemochromatosis type 2B, also known as juvenile hemochromatosis, a disease caused by severe iron overload that results in cardiomyopathy, cirrhosis, and endocrine failure.

The variant was detected heterozygously in a young patient with pronounced HFE hemochromatosis, who is also homozygous for the HFE variant c.845G>A, p.(Cys282Tyr). The HAMP variant c.-72C>T, p.?, has already been described as possibly pathogenic (Biasiotto et al. 2004, HGMD Professional 2022.4). Furthermore, other regulatory mutations have already been described as causative for juvenile hemochromatosis (including Island et al. 2009). It is listed with an allele frequency of 0.11% (35x heterozygous, 1x homozygous) in control databases (dbSNP rs367646034, gnomAD v2.1.1). Heterozygous pathogenic variants in the HAMP gene have been shown to increase the risk of iron overload in HFE c.845G>A heterozygotes and increase iron load in HFE c.845G>A homozygotes (Merryweather-Clarke et al 2003, Jacolot et al 2004; Piperno et al, geneReviews 2020). We evaluate the HAMP variant c.-72C>T, p.?, as a variant of unclear significance (VUS). -
