The impact of single nucleotide polymorphisms in human genes that regulate hepcidin and iron on oral iron absorption and the risk of anaemia in Africans

2021-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Background: Up to 60% of women and children living in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) are anaemic. Food fortification and iron supplementation are the most common measures employed to combat anaemia. However, these are not effective treatments for anaemias caused by non-nutritional factors. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) mainly in Europeans and Asians have identified single nucleotide polymorphism...
