Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: To assess geographic differences in the frequencies of HFE C282Y and H63D genotypes in six racial/ethnic groups recruited in the Hemochromatosis and Iron Overload Screening (HEIRS) Study. DESIGN: HFE C282Y and H63D genotypes of 97,551 participants, ages > or = 25 years, who reported that they belonged to one of six racial/ethnic groups, were analyzed. HFE genotype frequencies were compared among the...
