We have found by analyses of human-hamster hybrid cells that two human ferritin H genes lie near the locus of the iron storage disease idiopathic hemochromatosis on chromosome 6p. One of these genes was isolated and shown to be a processed pseudogene. Comparison of its sequence with those of other ferritin H pseudogenes indicates that they may be derived from a functional H gene other than that on chromosome 11.
