Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: Hereditary hemochromatosis is commonly associated with iron overload and hepatitis C virus (HCV). Association between hemochromatosis C282Y or H63D mutation has been observed, although not uniformly, and iron overload is also commonly found in chronic HCV hepatitis. This study explored the contribution of genetic hemochromatosis to iron accumulation in hepatitis C. DESIGN: Review of current literature....
