Hemochromatosis, Type 2b; Hfe2b

Description

Juvenile, or type 2, hemochromatosis is an autosomal recessive inborn error of iron metabolism that leads to severe iron loading and organ failure before 30 years of age (summary by Roetto et al., 1999). HFE2B is caused by mutation in the HAMP gene (OMIM ). HFE2 is genetically heterogeneous (see HFE2A, {602390}).
