Atransferrinemia. Hereditary haemochromatosis type 1 ( HFE-related haemochromatosis) [ 3] is a genetic disorder characterized by excessive intestinal absorption of dietary iron, resulting in a pathological increase in total body iron stores. [ 4] Humans, like most animals, have no mechanism to regulate excess iron, simply losing a limited ...
Iron overload (also known as haemochromatosis or hemochromatosis) is the abnormal and increased accumulation of total iron in the body, leading to organ damage. [ 1] The primary mechanism of organ damage is oxidative stress, as elevated intracellular iron levels increase free radical formation via the Fenton reaction.
Haemochromatosis type 3. Haemochromatosis type 3 is a type of iron overload disorder associated with deficiencies in transferrin receptor 2. It exhibits an autosomal recessive inheritance pattern. [2] [3] [4] The first confirmed case was diagnosed in 1865 by French doctor Trousseau. Later in 1889, the German doctor von Recklinghausen indicated ...

Papuan women with kinky hair. Kinky hair is a uniquely human characteristic, as most mammals have straight hair, including the earliest hominids. [10] Robbins (2012) suggests that kinky hair may have initially evolved because of an adaptive need amongst humans' early hominid ancestors for protection against the intense UV radiation of the sun in Africa.

Hemochromatosis type 4 is a hereditary iron overload disorder that affects ferroportin, an iron transport protein needed to export iron from cells into circulation. [ 1] Although the disease is rare, it is found throughout the world and affects people from various ethnic groups. While the majority of individuals with type 4 hemochromatosis have ...
Juvenile hemochromatosis. Juvenile hemochromatosis, also known as hemochromatosis type 2, is a rare form of hereditary hemochromatosis, which emerges in young individuals, typically between 15 and 30 years of age, but occasionally later. [ 1][ 2] It is characterized by an inability to control how much iron is absorbed by the body, in turn ...
Marie Warder (born Marie van Zyl, 30 April 1927 – 20 October 2014) was a South African-born Canadian journalist, novelist and activist best known for her activities raising awareness about hemochromatosis. [1] Warder founded the Hemochromatosis Society of South Africa, [2] and the Canadian Hemochromatosis Society (CHS), [3] [4] and was ...
