Abstract excerpt
Individuals with C282Y/C282Y in the hemochromatosis HFE gene have increased iron levels, which catalyze the formation of reactive oxygen species, and an increased risk of diabetes. These individuals may have disproportionately lower hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) due to increased erythrocyte turnover, decreased erythrocyte counts, and/or an increased mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC). In the Copenhagen...
