Next Generation Sequencing Allows Identification of a Novel Mutation in the TfR2 Gene and Outperforms the Conventional Diagnostic Techniques

open access: yeseJHaem, Volume 6, Issue 4, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Introduction Type 3 hereditary hemochromatosis (HH) is a rare genetic disease due to mutations in the transferrin receptor 2 (TFR2) gene. Methods and Results Here, we describe the case of an Italian patient presenting with hyperferritinemia and hepatic iron accumulation, not evidenced by magnetic resonance imaging, that was subsequently ...

Co-selection of the H63D mutation and the HLA-A29 allele: a new paradigm of linkage disequilibrium? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) shows a remarkable conservation of particular HLA antigens and haplotypes in linkage disequilibrium in most human populations, suggesting the existence of a convergent evolution.

Serum Ferritin in Women With HFE p.C282Y Homozygosity: Positive Associations With Age, Live Births, Menopause, and Transferrin Saturation

open access: yeseJHaem, Volume 6, Issue 4, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Background We sought to determine associations of serum ferritin (SF) with live birth numbers and other iron‐related variables in women with HFE p.C282Y (rs1800562) homozygosity. Methods We studied non‐pregnant, non‐Hispanic white women in post‐screening evaluations to determine associations of SF with age, pregnancy and live birth numbers ...

Mouse models of hereditary hemochromatosis do not develop early liver fibrosis in response to a high fat diet.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2019
Hepatic iron overload, a hallmark of hereditary hemochromatosis, triggers progressive liver disease. There is also increasing evidence for a pathogenic role of iron in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), which may progress to non-alcoholic ...

Hemojuvelin and bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling in iron homeostasis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Mutations in hemojuvelin (HJV) are the most common cause of the juvenile-onset form of the iron overload disorder hereditary hemochromatosis. The discovery that HJV functions as a co-receptor for the bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) family of signaling ...

The pathophysiology, presentation and classification of Type 1 diabetes

open access: yesDiabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, Volume 27, Issue S6, Page 15-27, August 2025.
Abstract Type 1 diabetes is characterised by the autoimmune destruction of pancreatic β‐cells, leading to an absolute or near‐absolute insulin deficiency. Although traditionally associated with childhood onset, it can manifest at any age, and it is increasingly recognised that there is significant heterogeneity in its clinical presentation. This review

How mutant HFE causes hereditary hemochromatosis.

open access: yesBlood, 2014
In this issue of Blood , Wu et al describe the molecular function of HFE , the gene most commonly mutated in hereditary hemochromatosis (HH). 1 HH is the most frequent genetic disorder of the Western world.

Genetic analysis of the correlation between GLP1 action and metabolic liver disease: Insights from Mendelian randomization analysis

open access: yesJournal of Diabetes Investigation, Volume 16, Issue 8, Page 1409-1419, August 2025.
Our study provides genetic analysis supporting the beneficial effects of GLP1 action on MASLD. These benefits may be attributed to mechanisms such as lowering blood glucose levels, reducing blood pressure, and improving HDL cholesterol levels. ABSTRACT Purpose Previous studies have shown that glucagon‐like peptide 1 (GLP1) receptor agonists may help ...
