HFE gene.p.Cys282Tyr [Presence] in Blood or Tissue by Molecular genetics method
Active
Term Description
Dominant cause of hemochromatosis (>90% cases) at least in US
Part Description
LP19725-8 HFE gene.p.Cys282Tyr
Hereditary Hemochromatosis (HH) causes excess iron absorption that leads to iron deposits in tissues and organs, eventually leading to organ dysfunction. Two point mutations in the HLA locus of chromosome 6 are responsible for the majority of HH cases-C282Y and H63D mutations. The C282Y mutation prevents the interaction of the HFE protein with Beta-2 microglobulin and leads to an inability to bind the transferrin receptor. Information from Wikipedia 2006 10 24. Homozygous C282Y mutation accounts for up to 90% of hemochromatosis patients. C282Y and H63D or S65C heterozygotes are associated with milder forms of HH. Heterozygotes for any of these single mutations are not significantly associated with HH. Information from ARUP 2007 01 24.

- Change Reason
- Assumed top2k rank from deprecated term. Changed Component name to align with the current HGVS recommendations to use the three letter codes for amnio acids. In the shortname, we kept the single letter codes.; The PrThr property is used for LOINC terms whose results are reported using an ordered categorical scale, regardless of whether or not an internal threshold was used to make that determination. This change was approved by the Laboratory LOINC Committee in June 2016.
