Abstract excerpt
A candidate gene for hereditary haemochromatosis, HLA-H, has recently been presented. Two missense mutations in the HLA-H gene sequence are predicted to account for nearly 90% of all cases of the disease. The aim of this study was to correlate the presence of these missense mutations with the expressivity of the disease, as assessed by standard biochemical evaluation of serum iron parameters. Detection of the...
