چکیده
Juvenile hemochromatosis is a rare autosomal recessive disorder that typically occurs in the first to third decades of life. Its symptoms are more acute and severe than classic hemochromatosis.

A review of the scientific literature reveals that recently only three siblings suffering from the disease have been reported in Iran.
