On June 17, 2020, the Canadian Hemochromatosis Society presented its first online information session in its Membership Lecture Series. We were honoured to have Prof. Pierre Brissot join us live from Rennes, France, to provide us with an updated view on the definition, diagnosis and treatment for hemochromatosis in 2020.

Pierre Brissot is a Professor Emeritus of Medicine; Member of the French National Academy of Medicine; Past-President of the International BioIron Society; Founder or Co-founder of FFAMH (Fédération Française des Associations de Malades de l’Hémochromatose), EFAPH (European Federation of Associations of Patients with Haemochromatosis), and HI (Haemochromatosis International).

In this episode, Prof. Brissot discusses the genetics and biological mechanism of iron overload in the most recent definition of hemochromatosis.
