Associations between single nucleotide polymorphisms in iron-related genes and iron status in multiethnic populations.

Associations between single nucleotide polymorphisms in iron-related genes and iron status in multiethnic populations.

The existence of multiple inherited disorders of iron metabolism suggests genetic contributions to iron deficiency. We previously performed a genome-wide association study of iron-related single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) using DNA from white men aged ≥ 25 y and women ≥ 50 y in the Hemochromato...
