Frequency of Hereditary Hemochromatosis Gene (HFE) Variants in Sri Lankan Transfusion-Dependent Beta-Thalassemia Patients and Their Association With the Serum Ferritin Level
IntroductionCo-inheritance of hereditary hemochromatosis (HFE) gene variants p. C282Y and p.H63D worsen iron overload in transfusion-dependent thalassemia. Data on the HFE gene variants in Sri Lankan patients with thalassemia have not been extensively studied. This study aimed to analyze the p.C282Y...
