Abstract excerpt

UNLABELLED: The HLA-related hemochromatosis mutation C282Y is thought to have originated in Ireland in a person with HLA-A3-B14 and was spread by Vikings. Irish people with two HLA-A3 alleles had a high risk of hemochromatosis. In this study, from west Sweden, we wanted to test these hypotheses. METHODS: HFE mutations in controls, bone marrow donors with HLA-A3/A3 and patients with hemochromatosis. HLA...
