Genetic Hyperferritinemia Without Iron Overload

Description

Genetic hyperferritinemia without iron overload is a rare biological anomaly defined as high serum ferritin levels without elevations of transferrin saturation, tissue or serum iron and characterized by an apparently asymptomatic clinical phenotype.
