Genes affected
TCN2 (HGNC:11653): (transcobalamin 2) This gene encodes a member of the vitamin B12-binding protein family. This family of proteins, alternatively referred to as R binders, is expressed in various tissues and secretions. This plasma protein binds cobalamin and mediates the transport of cobalamin into cells. This protein and other mammalian cobalamin-binding proteins, such as transcobalamin I and gastric intrisic factor, may have evolved by duplication of a common ancestral gene. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.[provided by RefSeq, May 2010]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingCenter for Genomics, Ann and Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of ChicagoMar 30, 2021TCN2 NM_000355.3 exon 4 p.Leu166Profs*7 (c.497_498del): This variant has been reported in the literature in at least 4 individuals with Transcobalamin II Deficiency; 3 of these individuals were homozygous, 1 was a compound heterozygote who was identified to have an additional likely disease causing variant in the TCN2 gene (Schiff 2010 PMID:20352340, Trakadis 2014 PMID:24305960). This variant is present in 0.2% (7/24962) of African alleles in the Genome Aggregation Database (https://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/22-31010402-GTC-G). Please note, disease causing variants may be present in control databases at low frequencies, reflective of the general population, carrier status and/or variable expressivity. This variant is present in ClinVar, with several labs classifying this variant as pathogenic or Likely Pathogenic (Variation ID:376919). Evolutionary conservation and computational predictive tools for this variant are limited or unavailable. This variant is a deletion of 2 nucleotides at position 497 which results in a premature stop codon 7 amino acids downstream from this location which is predicted to result in an absent or abnormal protein. Loss of function variants are a known mechanism of disease for this gene (Li 1994 PMID:7980584). In summary, this variant is classified as pathogenic. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJan 21, 2024This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Leu166Profs*7) in the TCN2 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in TCN2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 7980584, 20352340). This variant is present in population databases (rs778381859, gnomAD 0.03%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with transcobalamin deficiency (PMID: 20352340). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 376919). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingIllumina Laboratory Services, IlluminaOct 19, 2018The TCN2 c.497_498delTC (p.Leu166ProfsTer7) variant results in a frameshift and is predicted to result in premature termination of the protein. The p.Leu166ProfsTer7 variant has been reported in two studies and is found in a total of four unrelated individuals with transcobalamin II deficiency, including in three in a homozygous state and in one in a compound heterozygous state (Schiff et al. 2010; Trakadis et al. 2014). Control data are unavailable for this variant, which is reported at a frequency of 0.00048 in the African population of the Exome Aggregation Consortium. Based on the evidence and the potential impact of frameshift variants, the p.Leu166ProfsTer7 variant is classified as likely pathogenic for transcobalamin II deficiency. This variant was observed by ICSL as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. -
