This study investigates the prevalence of TMPRSS6 gene variations in patients suffering from iron deficiency anemia, particularly focusing on those with polyendocrine autoimmune syndromes. The findings suggest a significant correlation between these gene variations and iron deficiency anemia, indicating that the relationship may be more than merely coincidental. The results could pave the way for further research into genetic factors influencing anemia and autoimmune conditions.
