Genes affected

HFE (HGNC:4886): (homeostatic iron regulator) The protein encoded by this gene is a membrane protein that is similar to MHC class I-type proteins and associates with beta2-microglobulin (beta2M). It is thought that this protein functions to regulate iron absorption by regulating the interaction of the transferrin receptor with transferrin. The iron storage disorder, hereditary haemochromatosis, is a recessive genetic disorder that results from defects in this gene. [provided by RefSeq, May 2022]

HFE links:

H2BC4 (HGNC:4757): (H2B clustered histone 4) Histones are basic nuclear proteins that are responsible for the nucleosome structure of the chromosomal fiber in eukaryotes. Two molecules of each of the four core histones (H2A, H2B, H3, and H4) form an octamer, around which approximately 146 bp of DNA is wrapped in repeating units, called nucleosomes. The linker histone, H1, interacts with linker DNA between nucleosomes and functions in the compaction of chromatin into higher order structures. The protein has antibacterial and antifungal antimicrobial activity. The main transcript variant of this gene is intronless and encodes a replication-dependent histone that is a member of the histone H2B family. This transcript variant lacks a polyA tail but instead contains a palindromic termination element. This gene is found in the large histone gene cluster on chromosome 6.

Benign, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Genome-Nilou Lab	Aug 10, 2021	- -
Benign, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Illumina Laboratory Services, Illumina	Mar 06, 2018	This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score and internal cut-off values, a variant classified as benign is not then subjected to further curation. The score for this variant resulted in a classification of benign for this disease. -
