Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The prevalence of hereditary hemochromatosis (HH) (H63D/C282Y) gene variants in Mexico is unknown. METHODS: Using amplification refractory mutation system polymerase chain reaction, an analysis of HFE-codon 63/282 (H63D/C282Y) gene variants was performed in a group of 153 Mexican mestizo blood donors and six individuals with familial iron overload. RESULTS: In normal blood donors, three heterozygotes...
