Genes affected
TFR2 (HGNC:11762): (transferrin receptor 2) This gene encodes a single-pass type II membrane protein, which is a member of the transferrin receptor-like family. This protein mediates cellular uptake of transferrin-bound iron, and may be involved in iron metabolism, hepatocyte function and erythrocyte differentiation. Mutations in this gene have been associated with hereditary hemochromatosis type III. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene.

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg468Alafs*23) in the TFR2 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in TFR2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 23600741, 26029709). This variant is present in population databases (rs773050231, gnomAD 0.08%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with TFR2-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 461197). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
