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
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJan 11, 2024This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 792 of the TFR2 protein (p.Gly792Arg). This variant is present in population databases (rs80338891, gnomAD 0.01%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with hereditary hemochromatosis in a family and has also been observed in several affected individuals (PMID: 16424658, 26029709). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 21374). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be disruptive. In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. -
not provided Pathogenic:1
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxMar 20, 2018The G792R variant in the TFR2 gene has been reported previously in the homozygous and compound heterozygous state in individuals affected with hemochromatosis (Joshi et al., 2015; Lee et al., 2006). The G792R variant was not observed at any significant frequency in approximately 6500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. The G792R variant is a non-conservative amino acid substitution, which is likely to impact secondary protein structure as these residues differ in polarity, charge, size and/or other properties. This substitution occurs at a position where amino acids with similar properties to Glycine are tolerated across species. Cellular protein localization studies using immunofluorescence demonstrate that the G792R variant impairs the plasma membrane localization of TFR2 (Joshi et al., 2015). The G792R variant is a strong candidate for a pathogenic variant, however the possibility it may be a rare benign variant cannot be excluded. -
