Genes affected

FECH (HGNC:3647): (ferrochelatase) The protein encoded by this gene is localized to the mitochondrion, where it catalyzes the insertion of the ferrous form of iron into protoporphyrin IX in the heme synthesis pathway. Mutations in this gene are associated with erythropoietic protoporphyria. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. A pseudogene of this gene is found on chromosome 3.[provided by RefSeq, May 2010]

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change falls in intron 10 of the FECH gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the FECH protein. RNA analysis indicates that this variant induces altered splicing and likely results in a shortened protein product. This variant is present in population databases (rs202147607, gnomAD 0.0009%). This variant has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of erythropoietic protoporphyria (PMID: 7910885; Invitae). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 553). Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Studies have shown that this variant results in skipping of exon 10, but is expected to preserve the integrity of the reading-frame (PMID: 7910885). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
