简要总结
HFE(High iron FE)-related hereditary hemochromatosis has a highly variable penetrance. No phenotypic or genetic markers can predict the disease. The Iron Reabsorption Index (IRI), recently described by our group, correspond to the daily reabsorbed iron for a subject whose iron stock is stable and less than 50 µg / L.
The IRI is constant over time, reflecting the importance of the underlying functional deficit.
Hepcidin / ferritin (H / F) ratio may be an independent and constant over time marker of disease stage.No data are available on the validated values of this ratio.
The goal of this project is to determine the intra-individual variations of the H / F ratio over time during maintenance therapy and to assess the correlation with the IRI.
详细描述
HFE-related hereditary hemochromatosis has a highly variable penetrance : 1% of homozygous women and 30% of homozygous men would develop a clinically expressed disease. No predictive phenotypic or genetic markers are available.
The Iron Reabsorption Index (IRI), recently described by our group, correspond to the daily amount of reabsorbed iron for a subject whose iron stock is less than 50 µg / L and stabilized with maintenance phlebotomy.
For one patient, the IRI is constant over time, probably related to the functional deficit underlying. Unfortunately, IRI is a retrospective marker requiring at least one year of treatment, which limits its practical interest and directs its use for research activity.
We're looking for a more simple phenotypic marker readily available in clinical practice, which would predict at the time of diagnosis the evolution of the disease and therefore would better define the therapeutic options.
The pathophysiology of hemochromatosis is a dysregulation of hepcidin synthesis. We assume that hepcidin / ferritin ratio could be a phenotypic marker like the IRI, stage disease independent and constant over time. Indeed H/F ratio may reflect the adaptability of hepcidin production regulation for a level of iron stock No data are available on the validated values of this ratio. The aim of the project is to determine the intra-individual variations of the H / F ratio over time during maintenance therapy and to assess the correlation with the IRI.
