Clinical Trial: Rare Iron Overloads Except C282Y Homozygosity : Description and Characterization.

Study Status: Terminated
Recruit Status: Terminated
Study Type: Observational




Official Title: Clinical, Biological, Genetic and Functional Characterization of Rare Iron Overload Phenotypes Associated With Hepcidin Deficiency Except C282Y Homozygosity.

Brief Summary: Chronic iron overload is responsible for morbidity and mortality. There are many genetic and acquired causes. One of them is an hepcidin deficiency. Hepcidin is the regulating hormone for iron. The study explores this specific cause, and aim to characterize this iron overload in term of clinical, biological, genetic and functional specificities.
