HFE gene mutations in patients with altered iron metabolism in Argentina
Hereditary Hemochromatosis (HH) is an iron overload syndrome caused by increased duodenal iron absorption, which leads to excesive iron deposition in parenchymal cells of the liver and mayor organs, causing cirrhosis, diabetes, cardiac failure, endocrine complications and arthritis. There are 6 type...

S65C mutation was only detected in the heterozygous form (5.3% of the patients), 2 of them carried also H63D mutation. C282Y in heterozygocity was found in 15.8% of the individuals; but only 4.15% carried this mutation in homozygocity. Our findings are in agreement with the prevalence of the Mediterranean origin of most of our patients, where C282Y mutation is not as common as H63D mutation. Copyright © 2009 C.M.B. Edition.
