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.

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 12 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product does not undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Variant located near the start codon (<100nt), not predicted to undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. There are 29 pathogenic variants in the truncated region.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 7-100641173-C-CG is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr7-100641173-C-CG is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 5381.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg30Profs*31) in the TFR2 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in TFR2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 23600741, 26029709). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with hemochromatosis (PMID: 11313241, 26408288). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. This variant is also known as 84-88 insC (E60X). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 5381). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
