BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: It is now generally admitted that penetrance of the common HFE p.C282Y/p.C282Y genotype is incomplete, and identification of modifier genes is the concern of a growing number of research projects. We recently identified a significant association between pretherapeutic serum ferritin level and the common rs235756 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of the BMP2 gene region. Our results...
