Hereditary hemochromatosis is characterized by marked variation of expression of the defect: very few homozygotes with the C282Y/C282Y HFE genotype have full-blown clinical disease, a larger number show biochemical stigmata of iron overload, and some seem normal biochemically. The following candidate genes have been examined in detail to determine whether polymorphisms in them may be responsible for this...
