Severe osteoporosis as atypical presentation of hereditary hemochromatosis [PDF]
Besides important metabolic repercussions, iron overload is reported to be associated with deleterious effects on articulations and bones. We present the case of a male patient diagnosed with severe osteoporosis and vertebral fracture, in whom the ...

Study of total stimulated saliva flow and hyperpigmentation in the oral mucosa of patients diagnosed with hereditary hemochromatosis. Series of 25 cases. [PDF]
Objective: To study lesions in the oral cavity of patients with hereditary hemochromatosis and determine their association with iron overload. Study Design: We took a clinical history, examined the pigmentation of the oral mucosa, and measured total ...

Type 4B hereditary hemochromatosis associated with a novel mutation in the SLC40A1 gene
Rationale: Hereditary hemochromatosis can be divided into HFE- and non-HFE-related based on genetic mutations in different genes. HFE-related hemochromatosis is the most common inherited genetic disease in European populations but rare in Asia-pacific ...

Evaluation of genome-wide loci of iron metabolism in hereditary hemochromatosis identifies PCSK7 as a host risk factor of liver cirrhosis. [PDF]
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have revealed genetic determinants of iron metabolism, but correlation of these with clinical phenotypes is pending.

The contribution of diet and genotype to iron status in women:a classical twin study [PDF]
This is the first published report examining the combined effect of diet and genotype on body iron content using a classical twin study design. The aim of this study was to determine the relative contribution of genetic and environmental factors in ...

Iron Metabolism in the Disorders of Heme Biosynthesis
Given its remarkable property to easily switch between different oxidative states, iron is essential in countless cellular functions which involve redox reactions. At the same time, uncontrolled interactions between iron and its surrounding milieu may be

▪ 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.
