Iron Overload in Africa

9 Jan 1992

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND AND METHODS: In contrast to hemochromatosis, which in white populations is inherited through a gene linked to the HLA locus, iron overload in sub-Saharan Africa is believed to result solely from increased dietary iron derived from traditional home-brewed beer. To examine the hypothesis that African iron overload also involves a genetic factor, we used likelihood analysis to test for an interaction...
