BACKGROUND: Most patients with hereditary hemochromatosis in the Caucasian population are homozygous for the p.C282Y mutation in the HFE gene. The penetrance and expression of hereditary hemochromatosis differ largely among cases of homozygous p.C282Y. Genetic factors might be involved in addition to environmental factors. DESIGN AND METHODS: In the present study, we analyzed 50 candidate genes involved in iron...
