For the Cys282 Tyr mutation, patients were either wild-type (C/C), heterozygous (C/Y), or homozygous (Y/Y) for the mutation. Similarly, for the His63Asp mutation, patients were either wild-type (H/H), heterozygous (H/D), or homozygous (D/D). NA indicates not available.

*

Normal values for serum ferritin are 50-350 μg/L and for serum iron (SI) 8-24 μM.
