  • *Cases with family genetic analysis.

  • DEEND3 p.L708V, TMPRSS6 p.T331M, BMP4 p.R269Q and SUGP2 p.R639Q were identified by whole exome sequencing and confirmed by Sanger sequencing.

  • Bold black letters indicated the non-synonymous variants in the iron metabolism-related genes identified for the first time in HH.
