CorrectionGochee PA, Powell LW, Cullen DJ, Du Sart D, Rossi E, and Olynyk JK. A population-based study of the biochemical and clinical expression ofthe H63D hemochromatosis mutation. Gastroenterology 2002;122:646–651.
In reviewing Table 2 from the above article, the authors discovered that the second column heading was incorrect. The corrected Table 2appears below:
Table 2. Transferrin Saturation (TRS) and Serum Ferritin Levels (Ferritin) in Male and Female Subjects Who Were Wild-Type for the C282Y Mutation

NOTE. Subjects have been analyzed according to the presence of H63D mutations in the HFE gene.aP � 0.01 vs. male group of same H63D genotype.bP � 0.01 vs. H63D/H63D and H63D/wild-type of same column.
