  • Abstract
    It has been claimed that a noncoding mitochondrial polymorphism at nt 16189 is correlated with the penetrance of the homozygous state for the C282Y mutation of the HFE gene. We have genotyped homozygotes for the C282Y mutation and find no relationship between the ferritin levels and the inheritance of the mitochondrial polymorphism. Indeed, the small difference found is in the opposite direction of that reported previously.
