Abstract excerpt
We postulated that the severity of iron overload in homozygous hemochromatosis probands is related to the expression of HLA-A3 or D6S105 allele 8.

We then quantified the blood removed by phlebotomy to exhaust body iron stores and maintain normal serum ferritin concentrations in our hemochromatosis...
