Mutations in the hemochromatosis gene (HFE) and stroke
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Increased serum iron is found to be a risk factor for stroke. Carriers of HFE C282Y and H63D mutations have elevated serum iron levels and may have an increased risk for stroke. We studied the association between HFE gene mutations, carotid atherosclerosis, and stroke. METHODS: We compared the frequency of the HFE C282Y and H63D gene mutations in 202 prevalent and incident cases of strok
