The next Wolfson Institute seminar will be on Tuesday 13 June at 4pm, by Professor Tim Cox, University of Cambridge Titled: The genetics of haemochromatosis "Haemochromatosis is a pathophysiological condition in which excess storage of iron in the tissues leads to structural injury and functional impairment. This lecture will deal with the clinical manifestations and genetic aspects of haemochromatosis which are of emerging importance because a gene that is prevalent in the European population predisposes to the development of one form of haemochromatosis. In its early stages it is believed that this multi-system disorder can be prevented by bleeding to remove iron; the condition thus presents a challenge for individual diagnosis and health care planning".
