Our verdict is Uncertain significance. The variant received 5 ACMG points: 6P and 1B. PS3PP3PP5BP4

The NM_000410.4(HFE):​c.845G>A​(p.Cys282Tyr) variant causes a missense change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.057 in 1,614,134 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, including 3,399 homozygotes. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity,other,risk factor (no stars). ClinVar reports functional evidence for this variant: "SCV000461887: The c.845G>A variant affects HFE protein activity by preventing the formation of a disulfide bridge in the alpha-3 domain, which impairs the beta-2-microglobulin interaction and prevents the protein from reaching the cell surface (Feder et al. 1997" and additional evidence is available in ClinVar.

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]
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.

PS3
PS3 evidence extracted from ClinVar submissions: SCV000461887: The c.845G>A variant affects HFE protein activity by preventing the formation of a disulfide bridge in the alpha-3 domain, which impairs the beta-2-microglobulin interaction and prevents the protein from reaching the cell surface (Feder et al. 1997; Barton and Edwards 2018).; SCV001519562: "In-vitro experimental evidence suggests that the Cys282Tyr-mutant protein has impaired intracellular trafficking and accelerated degradation compared to wild-type HFE (e.g. Waheed_1997)"; SCV004177020: In vitro functional studies have shown that the variant causes reduced function (Ali-Rahmani F et al., PMID: 21243428; Boucherma R et al., PMID: 22531912; Levy JE et al., PMID: 10381492).; SCV004812520: In vitro functional assays with limited validation showed a significant impairment to protein trafficking and accelerated protein degradation indicating that this variant impacts protein function (PMID: 9162021, 9356458).; SCV005086593: "Functional analysis using transfected cell lines showed defects in HFE protein intracellular transport and cell surface expression (PMID: 9162021)."; SCV005382430: Experimental studies have shown that this missense change disrupts a disulfide bond in the Œ±3 domain of the HFE protein and impairs interaction of HFE with beta2-microglobulin, resulting in a block in intracellular transport and loss of cell surface expression of the Cys282Tyr variant protein (Waheed et. al., 1997).; SCV005415942: "Well-established in vitro or in vivo functional studies supportive of a damaging effect on the gene or gene product."; SCV006583014: Functional studies provide strong evidence of the variant having a damaging effect on the gene or gene product (PMID: 9162021, 9356458).; SCV000329362: Published functional studies demonstrate a damaging effect as C282Y results in a protein that does not reach the cell surface and is subject to accelerated degradation (PMID: 21243428, 9356458).; SCV001549492: Functional studies of the p.C282Y variant have demonstrated abnormal protein interaction, expression, processing and localization (Feder_1997_PMID:9162021; Waheed_1997_PMID:9356458).; SCV000219175: Experimental studies have shown that this missense change disrupts a disulfide bond in the α3 domain of the HFE protein and impairs interaction of HFE with beta2-microglobulin, resulting in a block in intracellular transport and loss of cell surface expression of the Cys282Tyr variant protein (PMID: 9162021, 9356458).; SCV002061285: "Well-established in vitro or in vivo functional studies support a damaging effect on the gene or gene product (PMID: 11040194; 23953397; 9162021; 9356458)"; SCV003702847: Functional studies have shown that this alteration leads to impaired intracellular transport of the protein and degradation before reaching the cell surface (Feder, 1997; Waheed, 1997).; SCV003920032: In vitro functional studies have shown that the mutant protein is retained in the ER and is unable to interact with beta2-microglobulin (Feder 1997 PMID:9162021, Waheed 1997 PMID:9356458).
