Does (HFE) hemochromatosis exist in India? Rakesh AggarwalDepartment of GastroenterologySGPGI, Lucknow
Hemochromatosis A progressive increase in body iron content, leading to systemic iron loading of parenchymal cells (particularly hepatocytes) and, eventually, to organ disease.
Iron homeostasis in humans Pietrangelo. New Engl J Med 2004; 350: 2383-97.
Hemochromatosis: Types • Primary • Secondary • Parenteral iron overload • RBCs • Iron • Anemias • Chronic liver disease (esp alcohol)

HFE gene frequency in Caucasians Harrison SA, Bacon BR. J Hepatol 2003; 38: S14-S23.
C282Y HFE mutation: Indian population * PCR using sequence-specific primers
HFE C282Y: Indian Thallassemics * PCR using sequence-specific primers
HFE C282Y: Indian liver disease patients * PCR-RFLP** Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis*** With transferrin saturation >45%

Indian patients with iron overload • HFE gene • None of the 5 patients had C282Y mutation • One had homozygous H63D mutation • None had previously known splice site mutations • Four had a IVS2+4 T/C change • HAMP gene (Hepcidin) • None had G71A or IVS2+1(-G) mutation • SLC11A3 gene (Ferroportin) • None had G71A or IVS2+1(-G) mutation Shukla et al. Natl Med J India 2006; 19: 20-3.
