We obtained genetic data on iron status, specifically serum iron, ferritin, transferrin saturation (TSAT), and transferrin, as well as data on five common bone and joint-related diseases (osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, rheumatoid arthritis [RA], ankylosing spondylitis [AS], and gout) from independent genome-wide association studies involving individuals of European ancestry. Here, TF is linked to gout.
