Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: The incomplete phenotypic penetrance of high iron Fe genotypes in relation to hemochromatosis poses a practical problem in the interpretation of the genotyping results by clinicians. We carried out meta-analyses of the associations between hemochromatosis genotypes C282Y/C282Y, C282Y/H63D, C282Y/wild-type, H63D/H63D, H63D/wild-type, versus wild-type/wild-type and iron overload, both provisional (elevated...
