Comprehensive analysis of HFE gene in hereditary hemochromatosis and in diseases associated with acquired iron overload.

CONCLUSION: A differential HFE association was observed for HH and for diseases associated with acquired IO (HCV, HCC). Since HFE is very distant from other histocompatibility loci, only weak associations were observed with these alleles. PMID: 30820268 [PubMed]
