متن کاملPreeclampsia and the C282Y mutation in the hemochromatosis (HFE) gene.
To the Editor: The hemochromatosis (HFE) gene encodes the HFE protein, a transmembrane glycoprotein that is implicated in the modulation of iron uptake from the diet (1 ). The C282Y mutation in this gene is known to be associated with moderately increased serum iron indices. Recently, several studies have described an association between increased maternal iron status and an unfavorable pregnan...
متن کاملDiabetes in HFE Hemochromatosis
Diabetes in whites of European descent with hemochromatosis was first attributed to pancreatic siderosis. Later observations revealed that the pathogenesis of diabetes in HFE hemochromatosis is multifactorial and its clinical manifestations are heterogeneous. Increased type 2 diabetes risk in HFE hemochromatosis is associated with one or more factors, including abnormal iron homeostasis and iro...
متن کاملA case of Vibrio vulnificus infection complicated with fulminant purpura: gene and biotype analysis of the pathogen
Introduction.Vibrio vulnificus (V. vulnificus) causes a severe infection that develops in the compromised host. Its pathophysiology is classified into three types: (1) primary septicaemia, (2) gastrointestinal illness pattern and (3) wound infection pattern. Of these, primary septicaemia is critical. V. vulnificus can be classified into three biotypes and two genotypes and its pathogenicity is ...
