The evaluation of hyperferritinemia: an updated strategy based on advances in detecting genetic abnormalities.

Abstract excerpt

The number of new genes implicated in iron metabolism has dramatically increased during the last few years. Alterations of these genes may cause hyperferritinemia associated or not with iron overload. Correct assignment of the specific disorder of iron metabolism requires the identification of the causative gene mutation. Here, we propose a rational strategy that allows targeting the gene(s) to be screened for a...
