Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Hemochromatosis reportedly affects 3 to 8 persons per 1,000 and is associated with an elevated risk of morbidity and mortality. We sought to ascertain its prevalence in a community and to assess the association between phenotype and genotype. METHODS: All health maintenance organization employees were invited to participate in hemochromatosis screening using a repeated elevation of the transferrin...
