The percentage of Norwegian subjects who stated that they were in less than good or excellent health.Subjects with phenotypic hemochromatosis (▧) are those who have elevated transferrin saturation and ferritin levels, whether or not they are homozygous for the Cys282Tyr HFE mutation. Those with genotypic hemochromatosis (▨) are Cys282Tyr/Cys282Tyr homozygotes. There is no significant difference between any of the groups: homozygotes for hemochromatosis were no more likely to enjoy less than good health than were controls (▪). From data of Asberg et al14 and A. Asberg, personal communication, August 2002.
