Abstract
Patients with DHIO show appropriate regulation of mRNAs encoding proteins involved in iron uptake and efflux but dysregulation of hepcidin production. The relatively elevated urinary hepcidin can explain the iron phenotype in DHIO (more macrophage iron retention and low/normal transferrin saturation).
