Based on twin studies, mutations in TMPRSS6 gene have a correlation with iron deficiency predisposition.

The protein encoded by this gene is a type II transmembrane serine proteinase that is found attached to the cell surface. The encoded protein may be involved in matrix remodeling processes in the liver.
