Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND/AIMS: To determine the molecular basis of a mild hemochromatosis phenotype in a man of Scottish-Irish descent. METHODS: We sequenced genomic DNA to detect mutations of HFE, SLC40A1, TFR2, HAMP, and HFE2. RNA isolated from blood mononuclear cells was used to make cDNA. RT-PCR was performed to amplify ferroportin from cDNA, and amplified products were visualized by electrophoresis and sequenced. RESULTS:...
