Abstract excerpt
Hereditary hemochromatosis is an autosomal recessive disease highly prevalent in Northern Europe. Here we describe the performance of a genetic test for two mutations of the HFE gene (C282Y and H63D). It is based on a solid-phase PCR coupled with an α-phosphorothioate-mediated primer extension, conferring resistance to hydrolysis by ExoIII. Next, Elisa-like detection allows a colorimetric reading of the genetic...
