Abstract excerpt
In a previous hemochromatosis screening study including a total of 65,238 individuals, 566 persons were genotyped for the C282Y and the H63D mutations. Of these, a total of 433 samples (298 homozygous C282Y and 135 homozygous wild type) were reanalyzed to investigate if the potential presence of the newly described 5569G/A polymorphism had confounded the genotyping results for the C282Y mutation. Genotyping with...
