At least 42 mutations involving HFE introns and exons have been discovered, most of them in persons with hemochromatosis or their family members. [25] Most of these mutations are rare. Many of the mutations cause or probably cause hemochromatosis phenotypes, often in compound heterozygosity with HFE C282Y.
A study of 3,011 unrelated white Australians found that 14% were heterozygous carriers of an HFE mutation, 0.5% were homozygous for an HFE mutation, and only 0.25% of the study population had clinically relevant iron overload. Most patients who are homozygous for HFE mutations do not manifest clinically relevant haemochromatosis (see Genetics ...
Majority of the cases of hemochromatosis are caused by mutations in the HFE (Homeostatic Iron Regulator) gene. [17] Type 3 HH is characterized by compound heterozygote mutations in both transferrin receptor 2 (TFR2) and HFE, i.e. a single mutation in each gene. HFE is located on chromosome 6 and TFR2 is located on chromosome 7.
This mutation is associated with diverse health issues, however H63D syndrome is the only known specific expression of a homozygous HFE-H63D mutation to date. The homozygous HFE-H63D mutation is the cause of classic and treatable hemochromatosis in only 6.7% of its carriers. [25] H63D syndrome is independently a distinct entity, and the ...

The prevalence of the 1298C mutation is lower, at 4-12% for most tested populations. [9] A study in 2000 had identified only 24 cases of severe MTHFR deficiency (from nonsense mutations) across the whole world. [3]
Chữ Nôm (𡨸喃, IPA: [t͡ɕɨ˦ˀ˥ nom˧˧]) [5] is a logographic writing system formerly used to write the Vietnamese language.It uses Chinese characters to represent Sino-Vietnamese vocabulary and some native Vietnamese words, with other words represented by new characters created using a variety of methods, including phono-semantic compounds.

An experimental Wikipedia edition in the obsolete chữ Nôm script began in October 2006 at the Wikimedia Incubator. [6] It was deleted in April 2010.
