Juvenile hemochromatosis (or hemochromatosis type 2) is, as its name indicates, a form of hemochromatosis which emerges during youth.
There are two forms:[1]
- "HFE2A" is associated with hemojuvelin[2]
- "HFE2B" is associated with hepcidin antimicrobial peptide[3]
Some sources only specifically include hemojuvelin as a cause of juvenile hemochromatosis.[4]
