Mutations in the HFE gene causing hereditary hemochromatosis in patients with Wilson disease

Abstract

The aim was to study the frequency of HFE gene mutations in patients with Wilson disease (WD) as one of the possible modifier genes. Materials and methods: There were examined 90 patients with WD. The frequency and spectrum of mutations in the HFE gene were studied using targeted NGS. Results. Mutations in the HFE gene were found in 30% patients with WD. In two patients was discovered combination of two hereditary diseases - WD and hereditary hemochromatosis, associated with metabolic disorders of copper and iron respectively.
