Genes affected
FECH (HGNC:3647): (ferrochelatase) The protein encoded by this gene is localized to the mitochondrion, where it catalyzes the insertion of the ferrous form of iron into protoporphyrin IX in the heme synthesis pathway. Mutations in this gene are associated with erythropoietic protoporphyria. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. A pseudogene of this gene is found on chromosome 3.[provided by RefSeq, May 2010]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpJul 09, 2023ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 557). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. This variant disrupts a region of the FECH protein in which other variant(s) (p.Cys406Tyr) have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 10942404; Invitae). This suggests that this is a clinically significant region of the protein, and that variants that disrupt it are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of erythropoietic protoporphyria (PMID: 8481408, 20412370). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Lys379*) in the FECH gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 45 amino acid(s) of the FECH protein. This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.007%). -
