Abstract
Hereditary hemochromatosis type 4 is an autosomal-dominant inherited disease characterized by a mutation in the SLC40A1 gene encoding ferroportin. This condition can be further subdivided into types 4A (loss-of-function mutations) and 4B (gain-of-function mutations). To date, only a few cases of type 4B cases have been reported, and the treatment has not been clearly mentioned. Here, we report a genotype of hereditary hemochromatosis type 4B involving the heterozygous mutation c.997 T > C (p. Tyr333His) in SLC40A1. The patient was treated with red blood cell apheresis every month for 1 year, followed by oral deferasirox, and the combined therapy was found to be effective.
遗传性血色素沉着症4型是一种常染色体显性遗传性疾病，其特征是编码铁转运蛋白的SLC40A1基因发生突变。这种情况可以进一步细分为4A型(功能丧失突变)和4B型(功能获得突变)。迄今为止，仅报道了少数4B型病例，并且没有明确提到治疗方法。在这里，我们报告了一种涉及杂合突变c.997的遗传性血色素沉着病4B型基因型T > C (p. Tyr333His)。患者每月进行红细胞分离治疗，连续1年，随后口服去铁铁，联合治疗有效。
期刊介绍：
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
