Core Tip |
The concept of hemochromatosis as a single disease entity has changed to an iron storage disease resulting from several genetic disorders although the final common metabolic pathway is inappropriate iron absorption from the intestine and progressive tissue iron loading. The most common form of the disease is due to a mutation in the human factors engineering gene resulting in cysteine tyrosine substitution at position 282 in the molecule. This mutation is relatively common in populations of northern European extraction but is rare in other populations. In contrast other rarer forms of hemochromatosis resulting from other mutations in the hepcidin pathway are quite ubiquitous. The main stay of treatment remains venesection although new oral iron-chelating agents show promise.
