Mutations in the HFE gene (C282Y, H63D, S65C) in a Brazilian population

2006-12-01

Abstract excerpt

Hereditary hemochromatosis (HH) is the most common genetic disorder occurring in individuals of northern European descent. The clinical characteristic of this disease is the gradual accumulation of iron in internal organs, which ultimately leads to organ failure and death. The defective gene in the majority of cases, HFE, was identified in 1996. Three allelic variants of the HFE gene have been correlated with HH:...
