| Identified Mutation |
c.187C>G (p.HIS63ASP); A mutation caused by a C-to-G transversion in exon 2 results in a histidine to aspartic acid substitution at codon position 63 [his63asp (H63D)] in the HFE gene. |

SER65CYS; Mura et al. [Blood 93: 2502-2505 (1999)] reported on the analysis of the cys282-to-tyr (C282Y; 235200.0001), his63-to-asp (H63D; 235200.0002), and ser65-to-cys (S65C) mutations of the HFE gene in a series of 711 probands with hereditary hemochromatosis and 410 controls. The results confirmed that the C282Y substitution is the main mutation involved in HH, accounting for 85% of carrier chromosomes, whereas the H63D substitution represented 39% of the HH chromosomes that did not carry the C282Y mutation. In addition, the screening showed that the S65C substitution, which results from a 193A-T transversion, was significantly enriched in probands with at least one chromosome without an assigned mutation. This substitution accounted for 7.8% of HH chromosomes that were neither C282Y nor H63D. This enrichment of S65C among HH chromosomes suggested that the S65C substitution is associated with a mild form of hemochromatosis. |
| Remarks |
Donor subject is a compound heterozygote: one allele has a C>G transversion at nucleotide 187 in exon 2 of the HFE (HLA-H) gene [187C>G] resulting in a substitution of aspartic acid for histidine at codon 63 [His63Asp (H63D)] and a second allele has an A>T transversion at nucleotide 193 in exon 2 of the HFE (HLA-H) gene [193A>T] resulting in a substitution of cysteine for serine at codon 65 [Ser65Cys (S65C)] |
