Talk:Iron overload disorder

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Does anyone know what those "type 1" "type 2" etc are referring to? I can't find references to those, so I'm not sure if those are standard or accepted terms. If they're not verifiable, they may need to be deleted. --Arcadian 00:51, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

Look at the Pietrangelo article, where I based this list on. It's not in common use and may be deleted. JFW | T@lk 01:27, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

Actually, it's OMIM that uses this classification. JFW | T@lk 08:03, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

Thanks -- that was what I was looking for. I've added the OMIM codes to the "Primary iron overload" section, but I've got a question -- we have one entry for "Type 2: Juvenile hereditary iron overload" and another entry for "Juvenile haemochromatosis". Are they the same thing, or distinct conditions? For now, I listed them both with the same OMIM code. --Arcadian 14:03, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

That OMIM article covers both mutations. JFW | T@lk 16:52, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

Oh no. I'm not sure now. I have no access to Gut anymore to double-check the Pietrangelo article. JFW | T@lk
