Abstract excerpt
Genetic testing of hemochromatosis has not been widely used as a diagnostic test because of unawareness of its existence and concerns about genetic discrimination. We developed a nomogram for the prediction of C282Y homozygotes for hemochromatosis from transferrin saturation and ferritin using Bayes theorem. The results of transferrin saturation and C282Y genotyping were available for 8,572 participants (5,042...
