Influence of HFE variants and cellular iron on monocyte chemoattractant protein-1.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Polymorphisms in the MHC class 1-like gene known as HFE have been proposed as genetic modifiers of neurodegenerative diseases that include neuroinflammation as part of the disease process. Variants of HFE are relatively common in the general population and are most commonly associated with iron overload, but can promote subclinical cellular iron loading even in the absence of clinically identified...
