Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Over 100 genetic variants are linked to iron (Fe) biomarkers in European populations, but their effects on nonheme Fe absorption remain unknown. Additionally, despite the higher body Fe burden observed in East Asian (EA) individuals, the genetic factors influencing Fe absorption in this population remain unexplored. OBJECTIVES: We aimed to examine the impact of genetic variation on Fe absorption and...
