The FTH1-dependent iron overload is a very rare congenital form of hemochromatosis (type 5).
Synonyms are: iron overload, autosomal dominant; Hemochromatosis type 5
The first description comes from 2001 by the Japanese doctors Junji Kato, Koshi Fujikawa, Megumi Kanda and colleagues.
distribution
The frequency is given as less than 1 in 1,000,000, so far only one family has been reported. The inheritance is autosomal dominant .
root cause
Of the disease are mutations in FTH1 - gene on chromosome 11 locus q12.3 based, which for the ferritin heavy chain element of Eisenspeicher- protein ferritin coded.
Clinical manifestations
These were incidental findings in those affected asymptomatic with regard to iron overload.
Diagnosis and treatment are the same as described in Hemochromatosis .
