Abstract excerpt
Low CD8(+) T lymphocyte numbers have contributed to deciphering the genotype/phenotype discrepancies found in hereditary hemochromatosis (HH) patients genotyped for the Hfe mutations, C282Y and H63D. In this study, we extend the analysis of T lymphocytes in HH to the T cell receptor (TcR) repertoire. Thirty-two HH patients (C282Y homozygous) and 274 Hfe genotyped healthy subjects were studied. The following TcR...
