The HFE gene is associated to an earlier age of onset and to the presence of diabetic nephropathy in diabetes mellitus type 2
(Endocrine, 2004)We initiated the present work to determine whether the presence of the HFE C282Y or H63D mutations could be related to the clinical expression of diabetes mellitus type 2. Two hundred and twenty five ... -
Identification of target mRNAs of regulatory RNA-binding proteins using mRNP immunopurification and microarrays
(Nature Protocols, 2007)RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) frequently regulate the post-transcriptional fate of target mRNAs. To identify novel target mRNAs of RBPs, we incubate total RNA with recombinant RBP and immunoselect the ... -
Therapeutic recommendations in HFE hemochromatosis for p.Cys282Tyr (C282Y/C282Y) homozygous genotype
(Hepatology International, 2018)Although guidelines are available for hereditary hemochromatosis, a high percentage of the recommendations within them are not shared between the different guidelines. Our main aim is to provide an ... -
Matriptase-2 mutations in iron-refractory iron deficiency anemia patients provide new insights into protease activation mechanisms
(Human Molecular Genetics, 2009)Mutations leading to abrogation of matriptase-2 proteolytic activity in humans are associated with an iron-refractory iron deficiency anemia (IRIDA) due to elevated hepcidin levels. Here we describe two ... -
