Most cases arise from a founder mutation in HFE (845G→A; ref. 2) that results in the amino-acid substitution C282Y and prevents the association of HFE with β2-microglobulin. Mice homozygous with respect to a null allele of Hfe (Hfe -/-) or homozygous with respect to the orthologous 882G→A mutation (Hfe 845A/845A )
