Abstract excerpt
Iron resistance iron deficiency anaemia is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by hypochromic microcytic anaemia, low transferrin saturation and inappropriately high hepcidin levels. The aetiology of this condition is rooted in genetic variations within the transmembrane serine protease 6 (TMPRSS6) genes, responsible for encoding matriptase-2, a pivotal negative regulator of hepcidin. We conducted a...
