Abstract excerpt
We report three mutations of transferrin receptor 2 (TFR2)--R396X (exon 9; nt 1186C-->T), R455Q (exon 10; nt 1364G-->A) and G792R (exon 18; nt 2374G-->A)--in a man of Scottish descent with hemochromatosis and severe iron overload. He was also heterozygous for the common HFE H63D polymorphism. The patient did not have coding region mutations in HAMP, FPN1, HJV or ALAS2. We conclude that this patient represents...
