Genes affected
GFER (HGNC:4236): (growth factor, augmenter of liver regeneration) The hepatotrophic factor designated augmenter of liver regeneration (ALR) is thought to be one of the factors responsible for the extraordinary regenerative capacity of mammalian liver. It has also been called hepatic regenerative stimulation substance (HSS). The gene resides on chromosome 16 in the interval containing the locus for polycystic kidney disease (PKD1). The putative gene product is 42% similar to the scERV1 protein of yeast. The yeast scERV1 gene had been found to be essential for oxidative phosphorylation, the maintenance of mitochondrial genomes, and the cell division cycle. The human gene is both the structural and functional homolog of the yeast scERV1 gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpDec 24, 2022For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects GFER function (PMID: 19409522, 25269795). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, Align-GVGD) all suggest that this variant is likely to be disruptive. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 8691). This missense change has been observed in individuals with mitochondrial myopathy (PMID: 19409522, 26018198, 26944241). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. This variant is present in population databases (rs121908192, gnomAD 0.01%). This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with histidine, which is basic and polar, at codon 194 of the GFER protein (p.Arg194His). -
