TI  - Iron overload in untransfused patients with hemoglobin H disease.
PG  - 137-9
AB  - Two Chinese patients with hemoglobin (Hb) H disease without a history of blood 
      transfusion developed iron overload at the age of 45 and 53 years, respectively. 
      Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) system types of these 2 patients were A19, A11, 
      B13, B62 and A2, A24, BW55, respectively, which are not related to the common 
      haplotypes for idiopathic hemochromatosis. Since severe iron loading is a rare 
      clinical manifestation in untransfused patients with Hb H disease, the iron 
      overload in both patients may be due to environmental or underlying genetic 
      factors.
