Abstract excerpt
Hereditary hemochromatosis is a genetic disorder of iron overload. Over the past 15 years, significant advances have been made in understanding the molecular pathogenesis of this disorder. First, genetic studies linked this disorder to mutations in several genes, including HFE, transferrin receptor 2 ( TFR2), hepcidin ( HAMP), ferroportin ( SLC40A1), and hemojuvelin ( HFE2).
