It is unclear whether risk of infection is increased in individuals with hereditary haemochromatosis and in individuals with low or high plasma iron, transferrin saturation, or ferritin. Therefore, we tested whether high and low iron, transferrin saturation, and ferritin are associated with risk of infections observationally and genetically through HFE genotypes. We studied 142,188 Danish general population individuals. Iron, transferrin saturation, and ferritin were measured in …
