ABSTRACT
Mutations in genes coding some proteins involved in iron metabolism in men are aetiological factors for diverse forms of hereditary haemochromatosis (HH). Over the last few years the relationship between their occurrence and prevalence and manifestation of diverse rheumatic diseases (mainly osteoarthralgia and rheumatoid arthritis – RA) has been investigated. Until now we have had no answer to the question whether there is a causal relationship between them. In this paper, current knowledge on hereditary haemochromatosis aetiology, and literature review on the relationship of hereditary haemochromatosis prevalence and phenotype of selected rheumatic disorders are briefly presented (Table I).
