Abstract

Introduction

The aim of this study was to define the relationships between factors other than transferrin saturation (TS) to mean corpuscular volume (MCV) and macrocytosis (MCV > 100 fL) in HFE p.C282Y (rs1800562) homozygotes.

Methods

We studied white post-screening participants with p.C282Y homozygosity who did not have anemia, report cirrhosis or pregnancy, or use medications that increase MCV. We analyzed relations of MCV and macrocytosis with age, sex, diabetes reports, daily alcohol consumption, swollen or tender 2nd/3rd metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joints, TS, and serum ferritin (SF).

Results

There were 257 participants (110 men and 147 women). Median alcohol consumption, median TS, median SF, and macrocytosis prevalence were significantly greater in men. Relative risk of macrocytosis in men was 2.81. In men and women, there were significant positive Pearson's correlations of MCV versus age and Spearman's correlations of MCV versus alcohol consumption and TS. Mean MCV and macrocytosis prevalence were significantly greater in participants with than without swollen or tender 2nd/3rd MCP joints. Linear regression on MCV revealed positive associations: age (p < 0.0001), alcohol consumption (p = 0.0007), and TS (p < 0.0001). Logistic regression on macrocytosis revealed an odds ratio for age of 1.04 (95% confidence interval: 1.00, 1.07).

Conclusions

MCV in HFE p.C282Y homozygotes is positively related to age, daily alcohol consumption, TS, and swollen or tender 2nd/3rd MCP joints.
