Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: In Ireland, the homozygote frequency of the C282Y mutation in the HFE gene is 1/83. The biochemical expression of this mutation is high in haemochromatosis (HH) individuals identified through family screening, but the clinical expression of the mutation in Irish HH subjects to date has not been investigated fully. OBJECTIVES: To determine the clinical, biochemical and histological penetrance of the...
