he term 'hemochromatosis' refers to an autosomal recessive disorder of iron metabolism associated with two mutant alleles of the HFE gene (usually leading to a Cys282Tyr mutation in the gene product) and characterized by a slow and progressive increase in plasma iron content, which, in adults, may l
After reading the article by Taura et al. with great interest, we really appreciate the ingenious work they have done. 1 In this study, they found type I collagen-producing cells do not originate from hepatocytes in a triple transgenic mouse model. Hepatocytes in vivo neither express mesenchymal mar
A candidate gene (HFE) has been described for hereditary hemochromatosis on chromosome 6. The study of well-defined atypical hemochromatosis families using genetic markers may increase our understanding of the sensitivity and the specificity of genotyping in hemochromatosis. One hundred and thirteen
