Abstract excerpt
Most adults affected with HFE hereditary hemochromatosis (HH type 1, MIMmusical sharp 235200) are homozygous for the p.Cys282Tyr mutation in HFE (NC_000006.10, region 26195427 to 26205038). The aim of this study was to investigate the molecular basis of iron overload in a patient presenting with severe clinical HH with one c.845G>A (p.Cys282Tyr) allele only. Molecular and pedigree studies demonstrated the...
