Green List (high evidence)

This gene was part of an initial gene list collated by Emma Ashton on behalf of the London North GLH, for GMS Metabolic Consensus Specialist Test Group. Additional information was not provided, such as mode of inheritance and phenotype. Associated with phenotype in OMIM and not in Gen2Phen. At least 18 variants identified in Anemia, sideroblastic, 1 300751 and two variants in Protoporphyria, erythropoietic, X-linked 300752 in six unrelated families, together with functional studies.

Panel Version: 1.255
Associated with phenotype in OMIM and not in Gen2Phen. At least 20 variants identified in both phenotypes

Mode of inheritance
X-LINKED: hemizygous mutation in males, monoallelic mutations in females may cause disease (may be less severe, later onset than males)

Phenotypes
Anemia, sideroblastic, 1 300751; Protoporphyria, erythropoietic, X-linked 300752
