Genes affected

TFRC (HGNC:11763): (transferrin receptor) This gene encodes a cell surface receptor necessary for cellular iron uptake by the process of receptor-mediated endocytosis. This receptor is required for erythropoiesis and neurologic development. Multiple alternatively spliced variants have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2015]

Patients with a combined immunodeficiency characterized by normal numbers, but impaired function, of T and B cells had a homozygous p.Tyr20His mutation in TFRC, encoding transferrin receptor 1 (TfR1). The mutation disrupts the TfR1 internalization motif, resulting in defective receptor endocytosis and markedly increased TfR1 surface expression. Iron citrate rescued the lymphocyte defects and transduction of wild type, but not mutant, TfR1 rescued impaired transferrin uptake in patient fibroblasts. TfrcY20H/Y20H mice recapitulated the patients’ immunologic defects. Despite the critical role of TfR1 in erythrocyte development and function, the patients had only mild anemia and only slightly TfR1 expression in their erythroid precursors. We show that STEAP3, a metalloreductase expressed in erythroblasts, can associate with TfR1 and partially rescues transferrin uptake in patient fibroblasts, suggesting that STEAP3 may provide an accessory TfR1 endocytosis signal that spares the patients from severe anemia. These findings demonstrate the importance of TfR1 in adaptive immunity. -

The TFRC c.58T>C variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Tyr20His. This variant has been reported in the homozygous state in several individuals from unrelated families with combined immune deficiency (Jabara et al. 2016. PubMed ID: 26642240; Aljohani et al. 2020. PubMed ID: 32851577). Functional studies from patient-derived fibroblasts and murine models showed that this variant in the homozygous state impacted protein function (Jabara et al. 2016. PubMed ID: 26642240). This variant has not been reported in a large population database, indicating this variant is rare. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -
