The association of TMPRSS6 gene polymorphism with iron status in Egyptian children (a pilot study)

Abstract Several studies have shown association of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of hepcidin regulatory pathways genes with impaired iron status. The most common is in the TMPRSS6 gene. In Africa, very few studies have been reported. We aimed to investigate the correlation between the commo...
