AbstractIron homoeostasis is tightly regulated, with hepcidin and soluble transferrin receptor (sTfR) playing significant roles. However, the genetic determinants of these traits and the biomedical consequences of iron homoeostasis variation are unclear. In a meta-analysis of 12 cohorts involving 91,675 participants, we found 43 genomic loci associated with either hepcidin or sTfR concentration, of which 15 previously unreported.

Genetic information could be as valuable as age and weight to blood donation management. The value of genetic information in predicting iron deficiency anaemia (IDA) and haemoglobin deferral in donors is unclear. Genetic variation predisposing significantly to IDA seems to be a small subset of genetic variation affecting haemoglobin and ferritin.
