HFE C282Y/H63D compound heterozygotes are at low risk of hemochromatosis-related morbidity.
UNLABELLED The risk of hemochromatosis-related morbidity is unknown among HFE compound heterozygotes (C282Y/H63D). We used a prospective population-based cohort study to estimate the prevalence of elevated iron indices and hemochromatosis-related morbidity for compound heterozygotes. In all, 31,192 subjects of northern European descent were genotyped for HFE C282Y and H63D. An HFE-genotype stra...
متن کاملA time course of hepcidin response to iron challenge in patients with HFE and TFR2 hemochromatosis.
BACKGROUND Inadequate hepcidin production leads to iron overload in nearly all types of hemochromatosis. We explored the acute response of hepcidin to iron challenge in 25 patients with HFE-hemochromatosis, in two with TFR2-hemochromatosis and in 13 controls. Sixteen patients (10 C282Y/C282Y homozygotes, 6 C282Y/H63D compound heterozygotes) had increased iron stores, while nine (6 C282Y/C282Y h...
متن کاملClinical and genetic heterogeneity in hereditary haemochromatosis: association between lymphocyte counts and expression of iron overload.
To identify a new marker of expression of disease, independent of HFE genotype in patients with hereditary haemochromatosis (HHC), the total peripheral blood lymphocyte counts were analysed according to iron status in two groups of subjects with HFE mutations. The groups consisted of 38 homozygotes for C282Y, and 107 heterozygotes for the C282Y or compound heterozygotes for C282Y and H63D. For ...
متن کاملHaemochromatosis gene mutations in idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy.
BACKGROUND Two common mutations of the haemochromatosis associated gene (HFE) (cys282tyr (C282Y) and his63asp (H63D)) have been implicated in haemochromatosis and as modulators in cardiovascular disease. OBJECTIVE To investigate the role of these mutations in the pathogenesis of idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy. DESIGN AND SETTING Case-control and prospective cohort study of patients atten...
متن کاملAssociation of HFE mutations (C282Y and H63D) with iron overload in blood donors from Mexico City.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Iron overload has been associated with HFE mutations (C282Y and H63D). We investigated the association between these mutations and high serum ferritin in a sample of healthy adult men. DESIGN AND METHODS We enrolled unrelated blood donors from three hospitals in Mexico City in a crosssectional study. Serum ferritin (SF) was determined to define iron overload, and HFE ...
