▪ Abstract In recent years, the number of proteins implicated in iron homeostasis has increased dramatically, and genetic causes have apparently been identified for the major disorders associated with tissue iron overload. These dramatic steps forward have transformed the way we look at iron-related disorders, particularly hemochromatosis.

Hereditary hemochromatosis (HH) is a disorder of iron metabolism characterized by a progressive tissue iron overload which leads to an irreversible organ damage if it is not treated timely. The recent developments in the field of molecular medicine have radically changed the physiopathology and the diagnosis of this disease.

Arthritis in hereditary hemochromatosis [PDF]
AbstractSeven pedigrees with 45 members were evaluated for arthropathy associated with hereditary hemochromatosis (HC). Patients with symptomatic extraarticular disease were compared with asymptomatic patients who had evidence of HC on laboratory findings, and with normal subjects.

Hypogonadism in Hereditary Hemochromatosis [PDF]
Abstract Hypogonadism, usually hypogonadotropic in origin, is the most common nondiabetic endocrinopathy in hereditary hemochromatosis (HH). Early studies, usually evaluating small numbers of patients with advanced HH, report prevalence rates of 10–100%. The clinical presentation of HH has changed in recent years as a result of increased

Complete heart block with ventricular tachycardia in a patient with hemochromatosis
Hereditary hemochromatosis is an inherited condition of dysregulated iron absorption, and usually presents with clinical features of hepatic dysfunction. Cardiac involvement as the presenting manifestation of hereditary hemochromatosis is rare. We report

Prognostic Factors and Survival in Patients with Hereditary Hemochromatosis and Cirrhosis
OBJECTIVES: The survival of treated, noncirrhotic patients with hereditary hemochromatosis is similar to that of the general population. Less is known about the outcome of cirrhotic hereditary hemochromatosis patients.

Brazilian family with hyperferritinemia-cataract syndrome: case report
Hereditary hyperferritinemia-cataract syndrome is a rare autosomal dominant disease caused by a genetic mutation in the iron responsive element in the 5’ untranslated region of the ferritin light chain gene. Hereditary hyperferritinemia-cataract syndrome
