Iron overload in Montpelier [PDF]

open access: bronzeGut, 2001
See article on page 836 Since the original discovery of the haemochromatosis gene (HFE) in 1996,1 there have been two genetic mutations that have dominated clinical studies. The C282Y mutation (845 G→A) has attracted the most attention as the majority of typical haemochromatosis patients are homozygotes for this mutation. This has increasingly led to
