The Role of Ferroptosis Induced by Iron Overload in Osteoblast and Osteoclast Function
ABSTRACT Iron overload disrupts bone homeostasis by suppressing osteoblast survival and mineralization, while promoting osteoclastogenesis. As a programmed cell death driven by iron‐dependent lipid peroxidation and glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) downregulation. This study investigated the role of ferroptosis in bone cells under iron overload. Exposure

Genetic iron-overload disorders, mainly hereditary hemochromatosis and untransfused β-thalassemia, affect a large population worldwide. The primary etiology of iron overload in these diseases is insufficient production of hepcidin by the liver, leading ...

CYBRD1 as a modifier gene that modulates iron phenotype in HFE p.C282Y homozygous patients
Background Most patients with hereditary hemochromatosis in the Caucasian population are homozygous for the p.C282Y mutation in the HFE gene. The penetrance and expression of hereditary hemochromatosis differ largely among cases of homozygous p.C282Y ...

Hereditary hemochromatosis: An opportunity for gene therapy
Levels of body iron should be tightly controlled to prevent the formation of oxygen radicals, lipoperoxidation, genotoxicity, and the production of cytotoxic cytokines, which result in damage to a number of organs.

The case of a 43-year-old male is presented, with diagnosed diabetes mellitus,heart failure, skin pigmentation, hepatic cirhosis, and hereditary hemochromatosis confirmed by liver biopsy. The objective of this publication is to have hemochromatosis in mind as a differential diagnosis in a middle-aged patient with several pathologies and organs involved.

Do All Hemochromatosis Patients Have the Same Origin? A Pilot Study of Mitochondrial DNA and Y-DNA
BACKGROUND: Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and Y-DNA analysis have been widely used to predict ancestral origin. Genetic anthropologists predict that human civilizations may have originated in central Africa one to two million years previously.

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 ...

Mutations of the HJV gene, which maps on chromosome 1q21, underlie most cases of juvenile hemochromatosis. We evaluated the frequency of the most common mutation (G320V) of the HJV gene in the Greek population, since 50% of cases of hereditary ...
