Abstract excerpt
The hemochromatosis (HC) gene is known to be linked to HLA-A (6p21.3); however, its precise location has been difficult to determine because of a lack of additional highly polymorphic markers for this region. The recent identification of short tandem repeat sequences (microsatellites) has now provided this area with a number of markers with similar polymorphic index to the HLA serological polymorphisms. Using...
