Abstract excerpt
Aim: Two missense variants in the HFE gene, c.845G>A (p.Cys282Tyr) and c.187C>G (p.His63Asp), are commonly screened as part of the diagnostic workup for HFE-related hereditary hemochromatosis (HH) and iron overload. Identification of the two variants can be achieved by polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based laboratory tests and other methods. Evaluation of the analytical performance of the test is essential to...
