The effect of transferrin polymorphisms on iron metabolism.

Abstract excerpt

The effect of five different transferrin variants (TFv1, TFv2, TFv3, TFv4, and TFv5) on the hemoglobin level, mean corpuscular volume (MCV), ferritin level, percent transferrin saturation (%TS), and the unsaturated iron binding capacity (UIBC) was investigated in subjects with defined HFE haplotypes, 919 persons undergoing health screening and 113 patients with clinical hemochromatosis. The most common variant is...
