Genes related to iron regulation, included Hfe (Del-Castillo-Rueda et al., 2012), Slc40a1 (Del-Castillo-Rueda et al., 2012), Hmox1 (Song et al., 2012), Tfrc (Del-Castillo-Rueda et al., 2012) and Gdf15 (Cui et al., 2014), all of which are directly involved in hemochromatosis and iron overload (Figure 8c). The gene discussed is HMOX1; the disease is hemochromatosis type 1.
