[Genetics and physiopathology of hemochromatosis].

Abstract excerpt

Thanks to the discovery of the HFE gene and of its mutations, it is now established that the most frequent form of hemochromatosis is related to homozygosity for the mutation C282Y, and that other types of hemochromatosis, unrelated to HFE mutations, do exist such as the juvenile hemochromatosis. From a pathophysiological standpoint, the C282Y mutation impairs HFE protein expression at the surface of the membrane...
