Summary of representative types in hereditary hemochromatosis.

CategoryCausative geneFeatures

Type 1HFEMost common HH category
Type 2AHJV (hemojuvelin)Onset at a younger age than the other HH categories; most severe form of systemic iron overload
Type 2BHAMP (hepcidin)
Type 3TFR2Mutations in transferrin receptor 2; very rare
Type 4SLC40A1 (ferroportin)Only HH category with elevated hepcidin level; more iron deposition located in the Kupffer cells than in hepatocytes

HH: hereditary hemochromatosis.
