Table 2: 28 missense and nonsense mutations for HFE from the HGMD. All of them are disease causing.

</figtable>

The 28 missense and nonsense mutations for HFE are listed in <xr id="hgmd missense"/> together with the amino acid (aa) change and the codon number. They are all connected with the hemochromatosis phenotype.

dbSNP

dbSNP was searched for non-synonymous and silent (synonymous) mutations of the HFE gene. Silent mutations are mutations in the nucleotide sequence that do not lead to a change in the amino acid sequence of the protein.

OMIM

OMIM (Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man) also contains information about HFE, but only a small amount of all known mutations can be found.

Table 7: Comparison of HGMD, dnSNP, SNPdbe and OMIM with respect to the date of the last update, the information contained in the databases and the number of entries.

</figtable>

<xr id="comparison"/> contains a comparison of the four databases used in this task. It clearly shows that OMIM is most up to date, but also the private version of HGMD is from 2013. However, dbSNP, SNPdbe and especially the public HGMD have not been updated for over a year. dbSNP is very large and is the only database that also contains synonymous SNPs.

Mutation map

In total, we could collect a set of 72 point mutations from the different databases, containing missense, nonsense mutations and also synonymous SNPs. The complete list can be viewed in the Lab journal Task 7.

</figure>

<xr id="mutation map"/> shows the mutation map for HFE. Disease causing mutations (red) and non disease causing mutations (blue) are nearly equally distributed over the protein sequence. Nevertheless, there are some region where only dc mutation are located. Those regions are probably especially relevant for the protein function and can not be mutated without a decrease in function.

The protein domains are colored according to <xr id="mutation map"/> with the MHC antigen-recognition domain in green and the Immunoglobulin domain in blue. Disease causing mutations are marked in red and non disease causing mutations in grey.

</figtable>

In addition to the mutation map, <xr id="mutations struc"/> shows a 3D visualisation of the location of the mutated amin acids in the protein structure (1A6Z,A). Most disease causing mutations are located in secondary structure regions, but there are also some mutations that are located in loops. Therefore, it is difficult to tell which regions of the structure are important for the function when only looking at the the location of the mutations.
