Genetic Variants and Iron Absorption

Completed

Conditions studied: Iron Absorption

In brief

The two specific aims of this study are: 1) to assess the impact of a genetic variant on iron status; 2) to assess the impact of a genetic variant on non-heme absorption among Asian women. The investigators hypothesize that the genetic variant could enhance iron status and iron absorption in Asian women.
