Liver enzymes are normal. Initially perplexed by the abnormal test results, you consult a hematologist who suggests genetic testing for hemochromatosis. One week later, genetic test results indicate that the patient has a homozygous mutation (C282Y/C282Y) of the HFE gene.Rizzolo DSedrak MM...
The discovery of HFE gene has established the foundation for a better understanding of iron homeostasis and has changed hemochromatosis management: liver biopsy, gold standard diagnostic, was replaced by genetic test and it was suggested that population screening using genetic testing might be ideal ...
A 6-year survey of HFE gene test for hemochromatosis diagnosis A 6-year survey of HFE gene test was conducted to evaluate its helpfulness for hereditary hemochromatosis diagnosis. We analyzed C282Y, H63D, and S65C mut... C Mura,O Raguénes,V Scotet,... - 《Genetics in Medicine》 被引...
In individuals with hereditary hemochromatosis, the daily absorption of iron from the intestines is greater than the amount needed to replace losses. Since the normal body cannot increase iron excretion, the absorbed iron accumulates in the body. At this rate of iron accumulation, a man with hemoc...

hemochromatosis? Hereditary hemochromatosis has been reported in people throughout the world, but mutations in the HFE gene are much more common in the Northern European (Caucasian/white) population. If I have a mutation in the HFE gene will I develop hemochromatosis? For people who ha...
