Disease or Syndrome
Synonym: Familial hypotransferrinemia
SNOMED CT: Congenital atransferrinaemia (111571009); Congenital atransferrinemia (111571009)

Intellectual Product
Source: Orphanet
A mode of inheritance that is observed for traits related to a gene encoded on one of the autosomes (i.e., the human chromosomes 1-22) in which a trait manifests in individuals with two pathogenic alleles, either homozygotes (two copies of the same mutant allele) or compound heterozygotes (whereby each copy of a gene has a distinct mutant allele).
Autosomal recessive inheritance (Orphanet)
 
Gene (location): TF (3q22.1)
 
HPO: HP:0012239
Monarch Initiative: MONDO:0008846
OMIM®: 209300
Orphanet: ORPHA1195

Definition

Absence of transferrin, a protein that transports iron, in the blood. [from HPO]

Clinical features

From HPO
Congestive heart failure
MedGen UID:
9169
•Concept ID:
C0018802
•
Disease or Syndrome
The presence of an abnormality of cardiac function that is responsible for the failure of the heart to pump blood at a rate that is commensurate with the needs of the tissues or a state in which abnormally elevated filling pressures are required for the heart to do so. Heart failure is frequently related to a defect in myocardial contraction.
