Hemochromatosis (HC), the common inherited disorder in iron metabolism, affects at least 1 in 300 Caucasians. The disorder causes inappropriately high iron absorption and accumulation of excess iron in the parenchymal cells of the major organs of the body. The gene responsible for HC has recently be

The value of measurement of hepatic iron concentration and determination of the hepatic iron index in distinguishing homozygotes from heterozygotes for hemochrornatosis was examined. The study group included 42 homozygotes with an unequivocal diagnosis of hemochromatosis and six individuals who had
