11 Oct 2002
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: The role of the HFE S65C mutation in the development of hepatic iron overload is unknown. The aim of the present study was: (A) to determine the HFE S65C frequency in a Northern European population; and (B) to evaluate whether the presence of the HFE S65C mutation would result in a significant hepatic iron overload. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Biochemical iron parameters and HFE mutation analysis...
