Abstract

In a control population of 127 healthy adults in the West of Ireland, the possession of the HLA‐antigens associated with idiopathic haemochromatosis (IH), i.e. HLA‐A3, B7 and B14 was not accompanied by higher levels of serum iron, total iron binding capacity (TIBC) or transferrin saturation (TS%). HLA‐A3 does not appear to confer enhanced ability to absorb dietary iron.
