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

## 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
