Natural selection on HFE in Asian populations contributes to enhanced non-heme iron absorption

BACKGROUND: HFE, a major regulator of iron (Fe) homeostasis, has been suggested to be under positive selection in both European and Asian populations. While the genetic variant under selection in Europeans (a non-synonymous mutation, C282Y) has been relatively well-studied, the adaptive variant in A...
