Abstract excerpt
The identification of mutations in the haemochromatosis gene (HFE) (C282Y and H63D) provides the unique opportunity to test whether genetic variants that are associated with tissue iron accumulation may influence the risk of coronary atherosclerosis. To this aim the prevalence of C282Y and H63D mutations was determined in 174 patients with angiographically documented CAD (>50% stenosis) and history of MI, 187...
