The etiology of NH is not fully understood. However, the rate of recurrence of NH in the pregnancy after an affected one is \u223c80%. A spectrum of liver disease has been recognized, spanning from liver failure in the fetus or neonate to infants that survive with medical therapy. Here we report on 2 sets of fraternal twins, each set with a gross disparity in the severity of presentation: 1 infant with liver failure and the other nearly unaffected. These findings suggest a need to look carefully for subclinical disease in the siblings of patients with NH by using sensitive tests such as those for ferritin and \u03b1-fetoprotein. They also suggest that affected infants may be missed when using routine clinical testing, which would lead to the apparent rate of recurrence, understating the actual recurrence rate.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.2005-0784","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2005,11,16]],"date-time":"2005-11-16T03:18:12Z","timestamp":1132111092000},"page":"e880-e884","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":34,"title":["Disparate Clinical Presentation of Neonatal Hemochromatosis in Twins"],"prefix":"10.1542","volume":"116","author":[{"given":"Udeme D.","family":"Ekong","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Department of Pediatrics, Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, Children\u2019s Memorial Hospital, Chicago, Illinois"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Susan","family":"Kelly","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Department of Pediatrics, Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, Children\u2019s Memorial Hospital, Chicago, Illinois"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Peter F.","family":"Whitington","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Department of Pediatrics, Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, Children\u2019s Memorial Hospital, Chicago, Illinois"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"417","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2005,12,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"2021121003204438400_R1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Knisely AS, Mieli-Vergani G, Whitington PF.
