Genes affected
TMPRSS6 (HGNC:16517): (transmembrane serine protease 6) The protein encoded by this gene is a type II transmembrane serine proteinase that is found attached to the cell surface. The encoded protein may be involved in matrix remodeling processes in the liver. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2014]

Iron-refractory iron deficiency anemia Pathogenic:2
Pathogenic, no assertion criteria providedliterature onlyOMIMMay 01, 2008- -
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submittercurationBroad Center for Mendelian Genomics, Broad Institute of MIT and HarvardMay 02, 2023The heterozygous p.Tyr346Ter variant in TMPRSS6 was identified by our study, in the compound heterozygous state with a likely pathogenic variant (Variation ID: 1406), in one individual with iron-refractory iron deficiency anemia. This individual also carried a likely pathogenic variant (Variation ID: 1406), however the phase of these variants is unknown at this time. The p.Tyr346Ter variant in TMPRSS6 has been previously reported in one individual with iron-refractory iron deficiency anemia (PMID: 18408718) but has been identified in 0.009% (1/10706) of African/African American chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP ID: rs137853121). Although this variant has been seen in the general population in a heterozygous state, its frequency is low enough to be consistent with a recessive carrier frequency. This previously reported individual was a compound heterozygote that carried a reported likely pathogenic variant in unknown phase (ClinVar Variation ID: 1406), which increases the likelihood that the p.Tyr346Ter variant is pathogenic.This variant has also been reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 1405) and has been interpreted as pathogenic by OMIM and as likely pathogenic by GeneDx. This nonsense variant leads to a premature termination codon at position 346, which is predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Loss of function of the TMPRSS6 gene is an established disease mechanism in autosomal recessive iron-refractory iron deficiency anemia. In summary, although additional studies are required to fully establish its clinical significance, this variant is likely pathogenic for autosomal recessive iron-refractory iron deficiency anemia.

TMPRSS6-related disorder Pathogenic:1
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingPreventionGenetics, part of Exact SciencesNov 30, 2023The TMPRSS6 c.1065C>A variant is predicted to result in premature protein termination (p.Tyr355*). This variant was reported along with a second likely disease-causing TMPRSS6 variant in an individual with iron-refractory iron deficiency anaemia (Finberg KE et al 2008. PubMed ID: 18408718). This variant is reported in 0.0093% of alleles in individuals of African descent in gnomAD. Nonsense variants in TMPRSS6 are expected to be pathogenic. This variant is interpreted as likely pathogenic. -
