Combined segregation and linkage analysis of genetic hemochromatosis using affection status, serum iron, and HLA.

Abstract excerpt

Characterizing the distribution of parameters of iron metabolism by hemochromatosis genotype remains an important goal vis-à-vis potential screening strategies to identify individuals at genetic risk, since a specific marker to detect the abnormal gene has not been identified as yet. In the present investigation, we analyze serum iron values in ascertained families using a method which incorporates both...
