Next-Generation Sequencing of Hereditary Hemochromatosis-Related Genes: Novel Likely Pathogenic Variants Found in the Portuguese Population

Hereditary hemochromatosis (HH) is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by excessive iron absorption resulting in pathologically increased body iron stores. It is typically associated with common HFE gene mutation (p.Cys282Tyr and p.His63Asp). However, in Southern European populations up to...
