Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Hereditary Hyperferritinemia-Cataract Syndrome (HHCS, MIM #600886) is a rare autosomal dominant genetic disorder characterized by elevated serum ferritin levels and early-onset cataracts. This condition is caused by mutations in the iron-responsive element (IRE) within the 5' untranslated region (UTR) of the ferritin light chain (FTL, *134790) gene. In this study, we report a case involving elevated...
