Abstract excerpt
AIMS: Hereditary hemochromatosis (HHC) is the most commonly identified autosomal recessive genetic disorder in the Caucasian population and HFE gene mutations are highly concentrated among European populations. This is the first study that screens for HHC-related gene mutations in a healthy Lebanese sample population. METHODS: Using the reverse hybridization Hemochromatosis StripAssay A from ViennaLab, the DNA...
