Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND AIM: Hereditary hemochromatosis (HH) is a disorder characterized by inappropriately high intestinal iron absorption. In populations of Northern European descent, HH is most commonly caused by mutations (C282Y/H63D) in the HFE gene. METHODS AND RESULTS: We investigated the effects of dietary heme iron intake and HFE mutations on serum ferritin concentrations in a population-based random sample of...
