Hereditary hemochromatosis (HH) is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder that leads to iron overload. Conflicting results of previous research has led some to believe the brain is spared from the toxic effects of iron in HH. To test the association of the strongest genetic risk variant for HH on i) brain wide measures sensitive to iron deposition and ii) the rates of movement disorders, in a substantially larger sample than previous studies of its kind. Cross-sectional retrospective study of participants from the UK Biobank. Genotype, health record and neuroimaging data was collected from January 2006 to May 2021. Data analysis was conducted from January 2021 to April 2022. The UK Biobank cohort is a population-based sample. Neuroimaging analysis consisted of 836 individuals and analysis of neurological disorders consisted of 488,288 individuals of largely northern European ancestry. Disorders tested included movement disorders [ICD10: G20-G26], abnormalities of gait and mobility [ICD10: R26], and other disorders of the nervous system [ICD10: G90–99]. 206 individuals were excluded from analysis due to withdrawal of consent. Homozygosity for p.C282Y, the largest known genetic risk factor for HH. T2-weighted and T2* signal intensity from brain MRI scans, measures sensitive to iron deposition and clinical diagnosis of neurological disorders. The total cohort consisted of 488,288 individuals (223,569 males) aged 49–87 years, 2,889 of whom were p.C282Y homozygotes. The neuroimaging analysis, which consisted of 165 p.C282Y homozygotes (66 male) and 671 matched controls (272 male), showed that p.C282Y homozygosity was associated with decreased T2-weighted and T2* signal intensity in subcortical motor structures (basal ganglia, thalamus, red nucleus, and cerebellum; Cohen’s d > 1) consistent with substantial iron deposition. Across the whole UK Biobank (2,889 p.C282Y homozygotes, 485,399 controls), we found a significantly increased prevalence for movement disorders in male homozygotes (OR (95% CI) = 1.80 (1.28–2.55), p=0.001), but not females (OR (95% CI) = 1.09 (0.70–1.73), p=0.69). Among the 31 p.C282Y homozygote males with a movement disorder only 10 had a concurrent HH diagnosis. These findings indicate increased iron deposition in subcortical motor circuits in p.C282Y homozygotes and confirm an increased risk of movement disorders in homozygous males. Early treatment in HH effectively prevents the negative consequences of iron-overload in the liver and heart. Our work suggests that screening for p.C282Y homozygosity in high-risk individuals also has the potential to reduce brain iron accumulation and to reduce the risk of movement disorders among males who are homozygous for this mutation.
