Abstract excerpt
Amplification of the region of the HFE gene that contains the c.845G-->A (C282Y) mutation is usually performed using one amplimer that binds to a sequence in intron 3 and another that binds to a sequence in intron 4. Previously, a mutation that interferes with efficient binding to the intron 4 site has been described. We now find that another common mutation in intron 3, IVS3 -48c-->g, prevents binding of the...
