Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The gene that causes most cases of hereditary hemochromatosis is designated HFE. Individuals with mutations in the HFE gene may have increased serum iron, transferrin saturation, and ferritin concentrations relative to individuals with the wild-type genotype. METHODS: We generated reference centiles for percentage of transferrin saturation and serum ferritin concentrations in normal (wild-type),...
