Age estimates of ancestral mutations causing factor VII deficiency and Dubin-Johnson syndrome in Iranian and Moroccan Jews are consistent with ancient Jewish migrations.

Abstract excerpt

Factor VII (FVII) deficiency and Dubin-Johnson syndrome (DJS) are rare autosomal recessive disorders caused by mutations in F7 and MRP2 genes, respectively. Both disorders are relatively frequent among Iranian and Moroccan Jews. FVII deficiency in both populations is caused by a founder A244V mutation in the F7 gene and DJS is caused by two founder mutations, I1173F and R1150H in the MRP2 gene that are specific...
