Hemojuvelin (HJV)-associated hemochromatosis: analysis of HJV and HFE mutations and iron overload in three families.
Juvenile hemochromatosis is a severe form of hereditary iron overload. It can be caused by mutations in either hepcidin or hemojuvelin genes. In this study we identified the molecular basis of juvenile hemochromatosis in three Australian families and assessed the role of potential modifying genes in individuals carrying HFE mutations.
متن کاملSmoking and genetic risk variation across populations of European, Asian, and African American ancestry--a meta-analysis of chromosome 15q25.
Recent meta-analyses of European ancestry subjects show strong evidence for association between smoking quantity and multiple genetic variants on chromosome 15q25. This meta-analysis extends the examination of association between distinct genes in the CHRNA5-CHRNA3-CHRNB4 region and smoking quantity to Asian and African American populations to confirm and refine specific reported associations. ...
متن کاملComparison of European- and Asian-Ancestry Undergraduates
One thousand fifty-two (582 non-Asian, 470 Asian) university students were assessed regarding levels of physical abuse, emotional abuse, sexual abuse, neglect, and socially desirable responding. Differences between Asian-ancestry and European-ancestry students in self-reported incidence and expression of abuse were evaluated, as was gender and the relation between self-reported abuse and social...
متن کاملGenetic abnormalities and juvenile hemochromatosis: mutations of the HJV gene encoding hemojuvelin.
Juvenile hemochromatosis is an early-onset form of iron storage disease characterized by hypogonadotrophic hypogonadism and cardiomyopathy. Recently, the putative causative gene (LOC148738) encoding a protein designated hemojuvelin was cloned. The previously proposed designation of this gene as HFE2 is contrary to established convention, because it is not a member of the HFE family. We suggest ...
متن کاملAdult-onset cystic fibrosis in an African-American male
This report describes a case of adult-onset cystic fibrosis (CF) in an African-American male. Although CF is a common autosomal recessive disorder in populations of European descent, it is relatively rare in the African-American population (1 in 17,000), with only Asian population ancestries being less affected than African blacks. We present our patient's disease course in order to elucidate t...
