BACKGROUND The gene that causes most cases of hereditary hemochromatosis is designated HFE. Individuals with mutations in the HFE gene may have increased serum iron, transferrin saturation, and ferritin concentrations relative to individuals with the wild-type genotype. METHODS We generated reference centiles for percentage of transferrin saturation and serum ferritin concentrations in normal...
Although disruptions in the maintenance of iron and cholesterol metabolism have been implicated in several cancers, the association between variants in the HFE gene that is associated with cellular iron uptake and cholesterol metabolism has not been studied. The C282Y-HFE variant is a risk factor for different cancers, is known to affect sphingolipid metabolism, and to result in increased cellu...
سابقه و هدف : تمرکز اصلی تحقیقات اخیر بر پیدا کردن ارتباط بین موتاسیون های hfe و هپاتیت c بخصوص در بیماران مبتلا به اضافه بار آهن بوده است. ما در مطالعه خود فراوانی این موتاسیون ها و سطح فریتین را در گروهی از بیماران مبتلا به هپاتیت b با درجات مختلف این بیماری و افراد سالم بررسی کردیم. مواد و روشها : در این مطالعه 75 بیمار دارای آنتی ژن سطحی هپاتیت b (hbsag- positive) شامل 18 ناقل و 57 مورد م...
BACKGROUND Heterozygotes for the p.Cys282Tyr (C282Y) mutation of the HFE gene do not usually express a hemochromatosis phenotype. Apart from the compound heterozygous state for C282Y and the widespread p.His63Asp (H63D) variant allele, other rare HFE mutations can be found in trans on chromosome 6. DESIGN AND METHODS We performed molecular investigation of the genes implicated in hereditary h...
Hereditary hemochromatosis (HH) is an iron-overload disorder caused by a C282Y mutation in the HFE gene. In HH, plasma nontransferrin-bound iron (NTBI) levels are increased and NTBI is bound mainly by citrate. The aim of this study was to examine the importance of NTBI in the pathogenesis of hepatic iron loading in Hfe knockout mice. Plasma NTBI levels were increased 2.5-fold in Hfe knockout mi...
In this issue of Blood, Wu et al describe the molecular function of HFE, the gene most commonly mutated in hereditary hemochromatosis (HH). HH is the most frequent genetic disorder of the Western world. The authors show that HFE prevents ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation of bone-morphogenetic protein (BMP) receptor type I (Alk3), thereby increasing expression of this receptor on the ce...

Hereditary hemochromatosis (HH) is manifested as iron overload in different organs due to homozygosity of a single autosomal mutation. Two different mutations C282Y and H63D in the HFE gene have been associated with hereditary hemochromatosis cases. This disease is seen in northern european populations, but in India it is a rare disease. We report a young male with severe abnormalty of liver fu...
INTRODUCTION Hereditary hemochromatosis has been linked with C282Y and H63D mutations of the HFE gene encoding human hemochromatosis protein. It is genetic disorder of iron metabolism, leading to iron accumulation and increased liver fibrosis. The association between alcoholic liver disease (ALD) and HFE gene mutations remains unclear and requires clarification. OBJECTIVES The aim of the stud...
Haemochromatosis is a genetic disorder of iron overload resulting from loss-of-function mutations in genes coding for the iron-regulatory proteins HFE [HLA-like protein involved in iron (Fe) homoeostasis], transferrin receptor 2, ferroportin, hepcidin and HJV (haemojuvelin). Expression of the first four genes coding for these proteins in retina has been established. Here we report on the expres...
