The ferroportin disease

Open access

Abstract

A new inherited disorder of iron metabolism, hereafter called "the ferroportin disease," is increasingly recognized worldwide. The disorder is due to pathogenic mutations in the SLC40A1 gene encoding for a main iron export protein in mammals, ferroportin1/IREG1/MTP1, and it was originally identified as an autosomal-dominant form of iron overload not linked to the hemochromatosis (HFE) gene. It has distinctive clinical features such as early increase in serum ferritin in spite of low-normal transferrin saturation, progressive iron accumulation in organs, predominantly in reticuloendothelial macrophages, marginal anemia with low tolerance to phlebotomy. Ferroportin mutations have been reported in many countries regardless of ethnicity. They may lead to a loss of protein function responsible for reduced iron export from cells, particularly reticuloendothelial cells. Now, the disorder appears to be the most common cause of hereditary iron overload beyond HFE hemochromatosis.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
