Hepcidin Gene Promoter c.-1010T and c.-582G Variants are Modulators of Iron Overload Development in Individuals Carrying the H63D Mutation in the HFE Gene

Mutated HFE gene/protein is usually associated with Hereditary Hemochromatosis (HH). Despite C282Y being the most common HH-associated HFE mutation, others, such as H63D, also have an uncertain role in the pathogenesis of HH. Hepcidin is a crucial regulator of systemic iron homeostasis, controlling...
