The relationship between serum ferritin levels and storage iron as determined by serial phlebotomy.
The dots represent patients homozygous for the C282Y mutation. Squares represent patients with a diagnosis of hemochromatosis who are not homozygous for the C282Y mutation. The plus signs represent those whose phlebotomy program had not yet been completed.
