Abstract excerpt
Ferroportin disease is an inherited disorder of iron metabolism and is caused by mutations in the ferroportin gene (SLC40A1). We present a patient with hyperferritinemia, iron overload in the liver with reticuloendothelial distribution and also in the spleen, and under treatment with erythropheresis. A molecular study of the genes involved in iron metabolism (HFE, HJV, HAMP, TFR2, SLC40A1) was undertaken. In...
