Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND & AIMS: Pathogenic variants in the cellular iron exporter ferroportin (SLC40A1) cause hepatic and splenic iron overload. Low to normal transferrin saturation (TSAT) and iron accumulation in Kupffer cells with high splenic iron distinguish ferroportin disease (FD) from SLC40A1-related hemochromatosis (SLC40A1-HC), which are both caused by variants in SLC40A1. The aim of our study was to describe...
