This paper addresses the question of whether abnormalities in
ferritin
expression in the iron storage disease hemochromatosis (HC) involve major deletions or alterations in regions containing the two
ferritin
H genes that lie near the disease locus on chromosome 6p. We present evidence from analyses of Southern blots that neither gene is deleted in hemochromatosis. We also describe a polymorphism in one of the genes that we have previously shown to be a processed pseudogene. This polymorphism does not correlate with the presence of HC. The
PIC
value for this polymorphism was calculated as 0.49.
