Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 10 ACMG points: 10P and 0B. PM4PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_003227.4(TFR2):​c.1861_1872delGCCGTGGCCCAG​(p.Ala621_Gln624del) variant causes a conservative inframe deletion change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000834 in 1,559,462 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. It is difficult to determine the true allele frequency of this variant because it is of type DEL_BIG, and the frequency of such variant types in population databases may be underestimated and unreliable. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. A621A) has been classified as Likely benign.

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.

This variant, c.1861_1872del, results in the deletion of 4 amino acid(s) of the TFR2 protein (p.Ala621_Gln624del), but otherwise preserves the integrity of the reading frame. This variant is present in population databases (rs80338888, gnomAD 0.004%). This variant has been observed in individuals with hereditary hemochromatosis (PMID: 11984516, 12809944, 26408288). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. This variant is also known as AVAQ 594-597 del. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of variants on gene product structure and function are not available or were not evaluated for this variant. Experimental studies have shown that this variant affects TFR2 function (PMID: 18094142, 26408288). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
