Genes affected
GFER (HGNC:4236): (growth factor, augmenter of liver regeneration) The hepatotrophic factor designated augmenter of liver regeneration (ALR) is thought to be one of the factors responsible for the extraordinary regenerative capacity of mammalian liver. It has also been called hepatic regenerative stimulation substance (HSS). The gene resides on chromosome 16 in the interval containing the locus for polycystic kidney disease (PKD1). The putative gene product is 42% similar to the scERV1 protein of yeast. The yeast scERV1 gene had been found to be essential for oxidative phosphorylation, the maintenance of mitochondrial genomes, and the cell division cycle. The human gene is both the structural and functional homolog of the yeast scERV1 gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxSep 14, 2018c.199delC:p.Arg67GlyfsX83 (R67GfsX83) in exon 1 of the GFER gene (NM_005262.2). The normal sequence with the base that is deleted in braces is: CTCC{C}GGAG. The c.199delC variant in the GFER gene causes a frameshift starting with codon Arginine 67, changes this amino acid to a Glycine residue and creates a premature Stop codon at position 83 of the new reading frame, denoted p.Arg67GlyfsX83. It has not been published as pathogenic, nor has it been reported as a benign polymorphism to our knowledge. This variant is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function either through protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay; however, to date no frameshift variants have been reported in the GFER gene. The c.199delC variant is a good candidate for a pathogenic variant, but the possibility it may be a rare benign variant cannot be excluded. -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJan 11, 2024This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg67Glyfs*83) in the GFER gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 139 amino acid(s) of the GFER protein. This variant is present in population databases (rs747241374, gnomAD 0.01%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of GFER-related condition (PMID: 34732400). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 214476). In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
