, 2007 Iron is a major component of the Earth’s crust, but its own chemistry greatly limits utilization and also sets the basis for its toxicity. Hereditary hemochromatosis (HH) is the most common cause of iron overload in humans. For much of the twentieth century, HH was regarded as a monogenic disorder characterized by excess tissue deposits of iron ...

Seminars in Hematology, 2002
Hereditary hemochromatosis (hh, type 1 hemochromatosis) is an autosomal recessive trait characterized by hyperabsorption of dietary iron. The disease trait occurs in approximately five per thousand Caucasians of northern European descent. The causative gene, designated HFE, was isolated and characterized in 1996; most individuals with hh are homozygous

The penetrance of hereditary hemochromatosis
Best Practice & Research Clinical Haematology, 2005Since its original description as a rare disease of iron overload resulting in liver disease, diabetes mellitus, and bronzing of the skin ('bronze diabetes'), hereditary hemochromatosis has undergone several redefinitions leading to widely varying estimates of its prevalence.

Hereditary Hemochromatosis in Spain
Genetic Testing, 2000The C282Y mutation of the HFE gene has been reported as the main cause of hereditary hemochromatosis (HH). Another missense mutation (H63D) has also been detected at an increased frequency in a compound heterozygote state with the C282Y mutation in HH patients.

Hereditary hemochromatosis of tongue
Oral Surgery, Oral Medicine, Oral Pathology, Oral Radiology, and Endodontology, 2011Hereditary hemochromatosis (HH) refers to several inherited disorders of iron metabolism leading to tissue iron overload. Classical HH is associated with mutations in HFE (C282Y homozygotes or C282Y/H63D compound heterozygotes) and is almost exclusively found in populations of northern European descent.

Pathogenesis of hereditary hemochromatosis
Clinics in Liver Disease, 2004Hereditary hemochromatosis comprises several inherited disorders of iron homeostasis characterized by increased gastrointestinal iron absorpstion and resultant tissue iron deposition. The identification of HFE and other genes involved in iron metabolism has greatly expanded our understanding of hereditary hemochromatosis. Two major hypotheses have been

Management of hereditary hemochromatosis
Blood Reviews, 1994Hereditary hemochromatosis is a common disorder of iron metabolism with a prevalence as high as 8 per 1000. Affected individuals absorb excessive amounts of dietary iron and over time, tissue iron deposition results in skin discoloration, arthropathy, hepatic cirrhosis, heart failure, diabetes mellitus and impotence.

Detecting Hereditary Hemochromatosis
The Nurse Practitioner, 2000Hereditary hemochromatosis is the most commonly inherited autosomal recessive disorder. Hemochromatosis is a current or potential progression of abnormally high accumulations of iron in the liver. If left untreated, the condition can lead to chronic or irreversible hepatic fibrosis, cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma, arthritis, and organ failure ...
