1Hemochromatosis was defined as an adult-onset condition typical of HFE hemochromatosis in European white adults characterized by iron phenotyping, HLA typing or haplotyping, or HFE C282Y homozygosity. One HFE C282Y homozygote had collagenous sprue, a rare condition of uncertain etiology [45]. 2Autoimmunity was not mentioned in descriptions of study subjects. 3This man had pure red cell aplasia of undefined cause. 4The case of a woman with sarcoidosis included herein was reported previously [18]. 5Ulcerative colitis and sclerosing cholangitis occurred in the same man. |
