Abstract excerpt
Gene mapping techniques to identify gene mutations in humans and animals with phenotypic abnormalities in iron metabolism are providing important insights into the probable molecular mediators of intestinal iron absorption. Positional gene cloning in humans with hereditary hemochromatosis has ide...
