Abstract excerpt
The gene whose alteration causes hereditary hemochromatosis (HFE according to the international nomenclature) was, more than 20 years ago, shown to map to 6p21.3. It has since escaped all efforts to identify it by positional cloning strategies. Quite recently, a gene named HLA-H was reported as being responsible for the disease. Two missense mutations, Cys282Tyr (C282Y) and His63Asp (H63D), were observed, but no...
