A recall-by-genotype study on polymorphisms in the TMPRSS6 gene and oral iron absorption: a study protocol
2021-01-04
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background: </h4> : Oral iron supplementation is commonly used to treat and prevent anaemia. The transmembrane protease serine 6 gene ( TMPRSS6 ) , which encodes matriptase 2, is a negative regulator of hepcidin, the key controller of iron homeostasis. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified several single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the TMPRSS6 gene that are associated with an increas...
