Abstract
To the editor: The different genetic forms of hereditary hemochromatosis share as their pathogenic mechanisms the deficiency or dysregulation of the hormone hepcidin or defects involving the hepcidin receptor, ferroportin.[1][1] Ferroportin is the sole known cellular iron exporter in humans and isKeywords
