Genes affected
TFR2 (HGNC:11762): (transferrin receptor 2) This gene encodes a single-pass type II membrane protein, which is a member of the transferrin receptor-like family. This protein mediates cellular uptake of transferrin-bound iron, and may be involved in iron metabolism, hepatocyte function and erythrocyte differentiation. Mutations in this gene have been associated with hereditary hemochromatosis type III. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene.

Hereditary hemochromatosis Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJan 08, 2024This sequence change affects an acceptor splice site in intron 13 of the TFR2 gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing. Variants that disrupt the donor or acceptor splice site typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in TFR2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 23600741, 26029709). This variant is present in population databases (rs750609759, gnomAD 0.004%). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individual(s) with type 3 hereditary haemochromatosis (PMID: 28276324). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 570407). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
