A simple genetic test identifies 90% of UK patients with haemochromatosis. The UK Haemochromatosis Consortium.

Gut - 1 Dec 1997

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The diagnosis of genetic haemochromatosis (GH) before iron overload has developed is difficult. However a convincing candidate gene for GH, HFE (previously HLA-H), has been described recently. AIMS: To determine the prevalence of the haemochromatosis associated HFE mutations C282Y and H63D in United Kingdom affected and control populations. METHODS: The prevalence of the HFE C282Y and H63D mutations...
