[Frequency of HFE gene mutations and genotype-phenotype correlations in patients with hereditary hemochromatosis in Switzerland].

Abstract excerpt

Hereditary haemochromatosis is one of the most common genetic disorders affecting populations of European ancestry. Isolation of a strong candidate gene, the HFE gene, allows genetic diagnosis in a large number of cases. However, different mutation frequencies have been reported in hereditary haemochromatosis patient populations from various geographic regions. Such data and phenotype-genotype correlations from...
