HFE mutation H63D

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The HFE mutation H63D is a mutation of the HFE - gene with replacement of histidine through aspartic acid at the position 63 of the Hereditary hemochromatosis-protein . It occurs to about 15% ( heterozygous ) in the normal population.

distribution

For frequency and distribution, see type 1 hemochromatosis # Distribution .

Advantages of mutation

The mutation H63D appears to be useful against iron deficiency and leads to higher hemoglobin concentrations in males. Homozygous carriers have a higher transferrin saturation .

Disease value

People with a homozygous H63D mutation ( H63D / H63D ) rarely develop the classic type 1 hemochromatosis with clinical manifestations and then only have a low iron accumulation.

H63D / H63D alone is not a sufficient genetic cause of iron overload. If hyperferritinemia is found, other factors are usually present. As listed in Hemochromatosis , symptoms of the disease can include liver damage , diabetes , skin pigmentation, enlarged spleen , joint inflammation , atrial fibrillation , signs of mental illness, and testicular changes.

Associated diseases

Irrespective of a clinical disease, carriers of this mutation are associated with various syndromes and diseases.

Familial Alzheimer's disease , porphyria cutanea tarda type II, porphyria variegata , neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease and - and others - have already been mentioned in hemochromatosis type 1 . a. Increases in blood triglycerides .

In addition, other associations were described:

and other diseases with iron overload, see hemochromatosis # Other congenital diseases with iron overload

heart

Iron deposits in the heart can lead to cardiomegaly and decreased ejection fraction and manifest clinically as congestive heart failure and arrhythmia . A significant connection with the mutation H63D could not be demonstrated.

Brain damage

A relevant potential risk is damage to the brain ( neurodegeneration ) through iron accumulation, which can lead to oxidative stress within the affected cells and subsequently to cell death (scarring of brain tissue) with severely impaired neurotransmitter activity, which can result in excitotoxicity . An increased risk of Parkinson's disease is assessed inconsistently.

Liver disease

As far as the liver is concerned, the literature data are partly contradictory. The frequency of the mutation is not increased in alcohol-related liver disease. The mutation does not lead to a significant increase in hepatopathies (diseases of the liver) such as liver fibrosis or fatty liver

In male homozygous mutation carriers there is a different correlation with cirrhosis of the liver : increased risk of non-alcoholic fatty liver (NAFLD) and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) yes, but not for cirrhosis.

There is another significant relationship to liver cell carcinoma and its tumor aggressiveness:

meaning

According to the current state of research, people with a homozygous H63D mutation of HFE should be screened for syndromic symptoms that affect the brain, nervous system, heart, liver and, to a lesser extent, kidney function , skin diseases, blood formation and other vulnerable ones Affect organ systems.

A causal treatment is not available because free iron (NTBI) that is not bound to proteins cannot be removed from cells by bloodletting or similar procedures. In this way, in the event of illness, at most some of the symptoms can be alleviated. In the case of a homozygous H63D mutation, dietary control of iron intake should only be carried out under the supervision of a medical nutritionist , as the body can be overloaded with non-protein-bound iron (NTBI), for example due to hypotransferrinaemia , parallel to a ferritin deficiency.
