The most common form of hereditary haemochromatosis is an adult-onset condition usually associated with the HFE C282Y/C282Y genotype. The phenotypic expression of this genotype is heterogeneous and depends on a complex interplay of genetic and non-genetic factors. The aim of the present study was to determine if mutations in the recently identified HJV gene were associated with more severe iron overload...
