Abstract excerpt
The hereditary hyperferritinemia-cataract syndrome (HHCS) is a rare autosomal dominant disorder due to mutations affecting the iron responsive element (IRE) of the L-ferritin mRNA. We report on a new mutation, 43G > A, in the loop of the stem-loop structure of the L-ferritin IRE in the proband of a pedigree with early-onset bilateral cataracts.
