There are primarily two mutations associated with hereditary hemochromatosis; C282Y and H63D. The numbers 282 and 63 designate the location of the defects on the HFE gene located on chromosome number 6. An individual who inherits two C282Y mutations (one from each parent) is called a C282Y h...
lab examination(such as the blood routine,liver of function,serum iron,ferritin test and fasting blood-glucose) as well as the MRI check of the material organs,examination of hepatic pathology and staining by Prussian blue,the expression of hepcidin mRNA was detected in liver tissue by qRT-PCR...
ARTICLE Impact of gene patents and licensing practices on access to genetic testing for hereditary hemochromatosis Subhashini Chandrasekharan, PhD1, Emily Pitlick, JD2, Christopher Heaney, BA1, and Robert Cook-Deegan, MD1 Abstract: Hereditary hemochromatosis is an iron metabolism disorder that leads ...
MultipleHFE-associated HH cohorts, such as the Hemochromatosis and Iron Overload Screening (HEIRS)3, HealthIron6, Southern French registry7, have been investigated to identify the genetic and environmental modifiers of iron-overload phenotypes, as well as the HH clinical prevalence and genotype penet...
Aims of the study were to test whether the Swedish long QT founder mutation originated in an ancestral HFE family and if carriers had an increased risk for hemochromatosis (HH), a treatable disorder. We also aimed to identify the pathogenic mutation causing the hearing loss disorder segregating ...

1A), a long follow-up for moderate hyperferritinaemia without iron overload in his mother (I:2) with negative genetic testing for HFE-associated hereditary hemochromatosis and early-onset of bilateral cataracts at age 30 in his father (I:1). Slit-lamp examination of the anterior segment of ...
Hereditary hemochromatosis (HH) is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by enhanced intestinal absorption of dietary iron. Without therapeutic intervention, iron overload leads to multiple organ damage such as liver cirrhosis, cardiomyopathy, di
