Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: HFE mutations are associated with hereditary haemochromatosis. However, a simple method capable of demonstrating the cis/trans arrangement of alleles is lacking, and linkage disequilibrium between HFE alleles and classic HLA loci is unknown. These are important issues as the pathogenic role of the mutations is not known. AIMS: To develop a simple method of genotyping HFE mutations suitable for...
