2025-08-26
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background</h4> The iron overload disease haemochromatosis is primarily caused by HFE p.C282Y homozygosity, yet penetrance of clinical outcomes (including liver disease/cancer) varies. We estimated the effect of genetic and lifestyle factors on disease penetrance and expressivity in C282Y homozygotes. <h4>Methods</h4> We analysed 2,893 C282Y homozygous UK Biobank participants (n=1,295 male). We ascertained h...
