Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp RCV000394716 SCV000219176 pathogenic, low penetrance Hereditary hemochromatosis 2024-01-31 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This sequence change replaces histidine, which is basic and polar, with aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, at codon 63 of the HFE protein (p.His63Asp). This variant is present in population databases (rs1799945, gnomAD 14%), and has an allele count higher than expected for a pathogenic variant. This is a very common, low penetrance variant that is known to contribute to hemochromatosis when present with a second pathogenic allele in HFE. An estimated 1.5% of individuals of European descent who are affected with hemochromatosis are homozygous for this variant (PMID: 11479183), however, penetrance of the homozygous genotype is very low and is associated with variable phenotypes (PMID: 24729993, 11399207, 16132052, 11358905). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 10). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) has been performed at Invitae for this missense variant, however the output from this modeling did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on HFE protein function. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects HFE function (PMID: 9162021, 9356458, 12429850, 14673107). In summary, this variant is reported to cause disease. However, as this variant is associated with a lower penetrance than other pathogenic alleles in the HFE gene, it has been classified as Pathogenic (low penetrance).
Knight Diagnostic Laboratories, Oregon Health and Sciences University RCV000000026 SCV000223933 pathogenic Hemochromatosis type 1 2016-01-27 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The c.187C>G (p.His63Asp) missense variant is widely recognized as one of the two most common disease-causing variants in the HFE gene. Compound heterozygotes for p.Cys282Tyr and p.His63Asp are common in the Caucasian population, and together with homozygotes for the p.Cys282Tyr, account for 87% of individuals of European origin with HFE-HH. However, it is important to note that only ~ 0.5%-2.0% of compound heterozygous individuals develop clinical evidence of the disease due to incomplete penetrance (GeneReviews: Seckington et al., 2015; Ramrakhiani and Bacon, 1998; Morrison et al., 2003). In summary, this variant c.187C>G, (p.His63Asp) meets our criteria for Pathogenic.

Illumina Laboratory Services, Illumina RCV000000026 SCV000461883 pathogenic Hemochromatosis type 1 2023-05-18 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The HFE c.187C>G (p.His63Asp) missense variant is well described in the literature as a pathogenic variant with significantly reduced penetrance for HFE hemochromatosis. Approximately 1% of individuals of European ancestry with HFE hemochromatosis are homozygous for the p.His63Asp variant, and between 3-8% are compound heterozygous for the p.His63Asp variant and the well-known p.Cys282Tyr pathogenic variant (PMID: 20301613; PMID: 8696333). Although biochemical abnormalities may be present, only two percent or fewer of individuals who are compound heterozygous for the p.His63Asp variant are expected to develop clinical symptoms of iron overload and HFE hemochromatosis (PMID: 11874997; 19554541; 26365338). Heterozygosity for the p.His63Asp variant ranges from 8.5% in the Asian population to 25% in northern Europeans (PMID: 20301613), with the variant being reported at a frequency of 0.150400 in the European (non-Finnish) population of the Genome Aggregation Database (version 3.1.2), where it is also found in a total of 1005 homozygotes. This allele frequency is high but is consistent with estimates of disease prevalence, reduced penetrance, and a mild phenotype. The p.His63Asp variant is predicted to disrupt a pH-dependent intramolecular salt bridge in the alpha-2 domain, thereby affecting interaction of the protein with the transferrin receptor (PMID: 20301613). Based on the available evidence, the c.187C>G (p.His63Asp) variant is classified as pathogenic for hemochromatosis but with significantly reduced penetrance.

Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp RCV000000026 SCV001519563 pathogenic Hemochromatosis type 1 2021-02-26 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing Variant summary: HFE c.187C>G (p.His63Asp) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the MHC class I-like antigen recognition-like domain (IPR011161) of the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.11 in 251484 control chromosomes in the gnomAD database, including 1832 homozygotes. c.187C>G has been reported as a common disease variant in the literature in individuals affected with Hemochromatosis Type 1, in both homozygous and compound heterozygous states, but most frequently in trans with the most common disease variant c.845G>A (p.Cys282Tyr) (e.g. Feder_1996, Kelley_2014). These data indicate that the variant is likely to be associated with disease, however the variant appears to have very low penetrance, as the majority of homozygous or compound heterozygous individuals with this variant do not exhibit clinical symptoms of hemochromatosis despite some cases having elevated serum ferritin and transferrin saturation levels (e.g. Beutler_2002, Pedersen_2009). Several publications report experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function. While p.His63Asp was shown to have normal levels of association with beta2-globulin and expression of HFE on the cell surface in contrast to impairment observed in cells with the other common pathogenic variant p.Cys282Tyr (e.g. Waheed_1997), p.His63Asp was shown to induce ER-stress in-vitro and in a transgenic mouse model (e.g. Liu_2011). Transgenic mice expressing the murine equivalent of this variant were also reported to have increased iron storage and decreased levels of iron mobilization at 12 months of age (e.g. Nandar_2013). The variant has also been reported to alter the expression levels of several genes involved in sphingolipid metabolism (e.g. Ali-Rahmani_2011) and to affect cellular glutamate levels (e.g. Mitchell_2011). Sixteen clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. Thirteen of these submitters report the variant as either Pathogenic or a risk factor for disease. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic with very low penetrance in association with Hemochromatosis.

Clinical Genomics Laboratory, Stanford Medicine RCV000000026 SCV004801387 pathogenic Hemochromatosis type 1 2021-05-13 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing • The p.His63Asp variant in the HFE gene has been identified in the homozygous state in approximately 1% of individuals of European ancestry with HFE hemochromatosis, and in the compound heterozygous state with p.Cys282Tyr in approximately 3-8% of individuals of European ancestry with HFE hemochromatosis (Barton and Edwards, 2018). • The p.His63Asp variant is described as a low-penetrant allele and is rarely associated with clinical disease in the homozygous or compound heterozygous state (Gochee et al., 2002; Gurrin et al., 2009). • Individuals heterozygous for the p.His63Asp variant may demonstrate evidence of biochemical disease, including mildly elevated serum transferrin-iron saturation and serum ferritin concentration, but do not develop clinical manifestations of disease (Allen et al., 2008; Pedersen and Milman, 2009). • This variant has been identified in 18,635/129,168 European (non-Finnish) chromosomes (30,592/282,844 chromosomes overall) by the Genome Aggregation Database (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/). Although the p.His63Asp variant is seen at a frequency greater than 5% in the general population, this variant is recognized as a common low-penetrant variant that is an exception to ACMG/AMP classification guidelines (Ghosh et al., 2018). • These data were assessed using the ACMG/AMP variant interpretation guidelines. In summary, there is sufficient evidence to classify the p.His63Asp variant as pathogenic for autosomal recessive HFE hemochromatosis based on the information above. [ACMG evidence codes used: PS4]

Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects HFE function (Tomatsu et al., 2003). This variant has been reported with the high allele frequency of 10.9% in the gnomAD Exomes. This variant has been submitted to the ClinVar database with Benign / Uncertain Significance / Risk factor / Pathogenic (multiple submitters). The amino acid His at position 63 is changed to a Asp changing protein sequence and it might alter its composition and physico-chemical properties. The amino acid change p.His63Asp in HFE is predicted as conserved by GERP++ and PhyloP across 100 vertebrates.Though the variant frequency is very high in the population, the variant is enriched in patints with HFE hemochromatosis as compared to the general population (Burke et al., 2000). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as a Pathogenic variant which acts as a risk factor for the development of the disease.

Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Sinai Health System RCV000175607 SCV001552099 pathogenic not provided no assertion criteria provided clinical testing The HFE p.His63Asp variant is associated with Hereditary Hemochromatosis (HH), an autosomal-recessive disorder caused by pathogenic HFE variants, most commonly those resulting in p.Cys282Tyr and p.His63Asp (Gurrin_2009_PMID: 19554541). This variant was identified in dbSNP (ID: rs1799945), LOVD 3.0 (classified as pathogenic) and ClinVar (classified as pathogenic for hemochromatosis by Invitae, GeneDx, Illumina, Blueprint Genetics, Counsyl, University of Chicago, Partners Laboratory for Molecular Medicine and Knight Diagnostic Laboratories,Oregon Health and Sciences University). The variant was identified in control databases in 30592 of 282844 chromosomes (2023 homozygous) at a frequency of 0.108159 (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). The variant was observed in the following populations: European (non-Finnish) in 18635 of 129168 chromosomes (freq: 0.1443), Other in 872 of 7222 chromosomes (freq: 0.1207), Ashkenazi Jewish in 1113 of 10370 chromosomes (freq: 0.1073), European (Finnish) in 2598 of 25118 chromosomes (freq: 0.1034), Latino in 3556 of 35438 chromosomes (freq: 0.1003), South Asian in 2457 of 30616 chromosomes (freq: 0.08025), East Asian in 680 of 19952 chromosomes (freq: 0.03408) and African in 681 of 24960 chromosomes (freq: 0.02728). Functional studies show that the HFE p.H63D variant impacts brain iron homeostasis (Nandar_2013_PMID: 23429074). Other studies indicate that the presence of the p.H63D variant results in a significant increase in serum transferrin saturation but does not result in significant iron overload and in the absence of the p.C282Y variant, the p.H63D variant is not clinically significant (Goochee_2002_PMID: 11874997). The homozygous state is considered to be extremely low penetrance and associated with variable phenotypes (Kelley_2014_PMID: 24729993). The c.187C>G variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and the in silico splicing prediction software programs do not predict any difference in splicing (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, and GeneSplicer). The p.His63 residue is not conserved in mammals and four out of five computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) do not suggest a high likelihood of impact to the protein; however, this information is not predictive enough to rule out pathogenicity. In summary, based on the above information this variant meets our laboratory’s criteria to be classified as pathogenic.

The observed variant c.187C>G (p.His63Asp) has previously been reported in a patient affected with Hemochromatosis and functional studies have shown that H63D disrupts normal protein function. The variant has a minor allele frequency of 7% and 10% in the 1000 genomes and gnomAD databases respectively. The reference codon is conserved across species. In summary, the variant meets our criteria to be classified as a variant of uncertain significance.
