Abstract
Summary of the research findings
Background and objectives: Although the genetic determinants of haemoglobin and ferritin have been widely studied, those of the clinically and globally relevant iron deficiency anaemia (IDA) and deferral due to hypohaemoglobinemia (Hb-deferral) are unclear. In this investigation, we aimed to quantify the value of genetic information in predicting IDA and Hb-deferral.
6,714 Finnish (founder/genetic isolate) cases, 21,189 Finnish (founder/genetic isolate) controls
