Hereditary hyperferritinemia cataract syndrome (HHCS) is a rare disorder with an autosomal dominant trait. The disease is defined with early onset cataract and hyperferritinemia without iron overload. Here, we report a new family with three affected members of this syndrome where the proband presented with high ferritin levels. Patients with unexplained high ferritin levels and/or juvenile onset cataract must be evaluated carefully for hereditary hyperferritinemia cataract syndrome.
遗传性高铁蛋白血症白内障综合征(HHCS)是一种具有常染色体显性特征的罕见疾病。该疾病的定义为早发性白内障和高铁蛋白血症且无铁过载。在此,我们报告一个患有该综合征的新家族,其中有三名患病成员,先证者表现出高铁蛋白水平。对于不明原因的高铁蛋白水平升高和/或青少年期白内障患者,必须仔细评估是否患有遗传性高铁蛋白血症白内障综合征。
