High incidence of the Cys 282 Tyr mutation in the HFE gene in the Irish population ‐implications for haemochromatosis
1 Nov 1998
Abstract excerpt
A simple PCR-SSOP approach based on a single PCR product has been developed to screen the HFE gene for the haemochromatosis-associated mutations Cys 282 Tyr and His 63 Asp. Using this approach the prevalence of these mutations in a cohort (30) of haemochromatosis patients and normal controls (404) was determined. Ninety percent of the haemochromatosis patients were homozygous for the Cys 282 Tyr mutation. In the...
