Clinical relevance (Genomics England PanelApp)

Diagnostic Grade (Green)

  • Ataxia and cerebellar anomalies - narrow panel

    X-LINKED: hemizygous mutation in males, biallelic mutations in females
  • Cytopenias and congenital anaemias

    X-LINKED: hemizygous mutation in males, monoallelic mutations in females may cause disease (may be less severe, later onset than males)
  • DDG2P

    X-LINKED: hemizygous mutation in males, biallelic mutations in females
  • Hereditary ataxia

    X-LINKED: hemizygous mutation in males, biallelic mutations in females
  • Iron metabolism disorders - NOT common HFE mutations

    X-LINKED: hemizygous mutation in males, biallelic mutations in females
  • Likely inborn error of metabolism

    X-LINKED: hemizygous mutation in males, biallelic mutations in females
  • Mitochondrial disorders

    X-LINKED: hemizygous mutation in males, biallelic mutations in females

Protein function (UniProt)

Iron-sulfur clusters transporter ABCB7, mitochondrial

Exports glutathione-coordinated iron-sulfur clusters such as [2Fe-2S]-(GS)4 cluster from the mitochondria to the cytosol in an ATP-dependent manner allowing the assembly of the cytosolic iron-sulfur (Fe/S) cluster-containing proteins and participates in iron homeostasis (PubMed:10196363, PubMed:17192393, PubMed:33157103). Moreover, through a functional complex formed of ABCB7, FECH and ABCB10, also plays a role in the cellular iron homeostasis, mitochondrial function and heme biosynthesis (PubMed:30765471). In cardiomyocytes, regulates cellular iron homeostasis and cellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels through its interaction with COX4I1 (By similarity). May also play a role in hematopoiesis (By similarity)
