Abstract excerpt
Hereditary haemochromatosis is a common inherited disorder leading to excessive accumulation of iron in various organs. Two missense substitutions at the HFE-gene have recently been associated with the disease, 187C G and 845G-->A (mutations H63D and C282Y, respectively). We present a simple, rapid PCR-SSCP multiplex screening method allowing the simultaneous detection of both substitutions. Furthermore, testing...
