Abstract excerpt
Hereditary hemochromatosis is a genetically heterogeneous disease of iron metabolism. The most common form of the disorder is an adult-onset form that has mainly been associated with the HFE pC282Y/pC282Y genotype. The phenotypic expression of this genotype is very heterogeneous and could be modulated by both environmental factors and modifier genes. The non-HFE hereditary hemochromatosis forms include a juvenile...
