Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Genetic predisposition to hemochromatosis involves several different point mutations in the HFE gene. Routine testing for two such mutations (H63D and S65C) using real-time genotyping deserves special care, as these mutations are in close proximity (6 bp) of each other. METHODS: A novel assay was designed for these two mutations based on a SimpleProbe assay format that allows for more flexibility in...
