General Information of Disease (ID: DIS165JG)

• Disease Name: Obsolete genetic hyperferritinemia without iron overload
• Synonyms: benign hyperferritinemia
• Definition: OBSOLETE. Genetic hyperferritinemia without iron overload is a rare biological anomaly defined as high serum ferritin levels without elevations of transferrin saturation, tissue or serum iron and characterized by an apparently asymptomatic clinical phenotype.|This is a biological anomaly and not a disease.
