Homozygosity for the mutation Cys282Tyr in the HFE gene has recently been identified as a cause of hereditary hemochromatosis, a disorder resulting in the inappropriate absorption of iron. Approximately 10% of Caucasians are heterozygous for this mutation; however, the gene frequency in African Amer

## Abstract This cross‐sectional population‐based study examined the association of anthropometric and lifestyle risk factors with bone mineral density (BMD) in 218 white ambulatory men aged 50–64 from the Rancho Bernardo, California cohort. BMD was measured at the lumbar spine and hip using dual‐e
## With the C282Y Mutation in the HFE Gene To the Editor: The association between hereditary hemochromatosis and thalassemia syndrome might lead to a severe iron overload [1,2], but the results are still controversial. By PCR and restriction enzyme digestion [3], we analyzed the C282Y and H63D muta
