Ferroportin (Q248H) mutations in African families with dietary iron overload.

Journal of gastroenterology and hepatology - 1 Dec 2005

McNamara Lynne, Gordeuk Victor R, MacPhail A Patrick

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Dietary iron overload found in sub-Saharan Africa might be caused by an interaction between dietary iron and an iron-loading gene. Caucasian people with ferroportin gene mutations have iron overload histologically similar to that found in African patients with iron overload. Ferroport...
