Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Two unrelated African Americans had hemochromatosis phenotypes and genotypes. We sought to identify origins of their HFE mutations and estimate frequencies of similar cases. METHODS: HFE and HLA genotyping were performed in index cases and family members. HFE genotypes of 1,373 African American controls in five regions were tabulated. RESULTS: Index cases had C282Y/C282Y and C282Y/H63D, respectively;...
