Iron overload is not the same everywhere: Particularities of iron-metabolism gene mutations in Brazil and a proposal for the investigation and management of iron overload in this population

There is no physiological mechanism for the excretion of iron in humans, and excess iron may lead to severe tissue damage if not adequately treated. Iron overload can be caused by genetic factors (hemochromatosis) or acquired conditions (e.g., ineffective erythropoiesis, transfusions, iatrogenic iro...
