Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND/AIMS: Homozygosity for a cysteine to tyrosine translocation at position 282 within the HFE gene (C282Y) is responsible for over 90% of hereditary hemochromatosis (HH) in Celtic populations. Determining those C282Y homozygotes at greatest risk for iron overload is a major clinical concern as only a small percentage will develop clinically significant iron overload. Divalent metal transport protein...
