title: Revisiting various iron overload syndromes after the haemochromatosis gene discovery.
abstract: The discovery of the gene responsible for most cases of genetic haemochromatosis has made it possible to re-evaluate the role of haemochromatosis in causing iron accumulation in porphyria cutanea tarda and various inherited anaemias. Recent studies of these associations are reviewed.
