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]
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.

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 ...

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]
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
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.
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.

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 ...
