Abstract excerpt
The identification of the HFE gene involved in hemochromatosis allows genetic tests based on mutation analysis to be performed. However, discrepancies in the correlation between HFE genotypes and iron-loading status have arisen. We investigated 708 patients with various signs or symptoms suggesting a putative iron overload that, nevertheless, did not reach the current criteria for hemochromatosis diagnosis. Most...
