Iron metabolism disorders may involve a number of genes including HFE and TFR2. [ 1] Hepcidin is the master regulator of iron metabolism and, therefore, most genetic forms of iron overload can be thought of as relative hepcidin deficiency in one way or another [1]. For instance, a severe form of iron overload, juvenile hemochromatosis, is a ...
