In vitro functional analysis of human ferroportin (FPN) and hemochromatosis-associated FPN mutations.
Type IV hemochromatosis is associated with dominant mutations in the SLC40A1 gene encoding ferroportin (FPN). Known as the "ferroportin disease," this condition is typically characterized by high serum ferritin, reduced transferrin saturation, and macrophage iron loading. Previously FPN ex...
