Hereditary Hemochromatosis Gene

1. If this proved to be the case, then one might even aver that HFE is not the real hereditary hemochromatosis gene but merely a risk factor. (Web site)

Clinical Outcome

1. Mutations in the hemochromatosis gene and the clinical outcome of multiple sclerosis.

Localization

1. Raha-Chowdhury R, Gruen J: Localization, allelic heterogeneity, and origins of the hemochromatosis gene.

Person

1. It is only when a person gets a hemochromatosis gene from each parent -- a double dose -- that the disease develops. (Web site)

Gene

1. A person who has only one hemochromatosis gene is healthy and said to be a "carrier" of the gene.
