Abstract

Over 90% of patients with hemochromatosis in the United Kingdom are homozygous for the C282Y mutation on the HFE gene. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) in the United States has recommended that adults should be screened for HFE mutations to identify susceptible individuals before onset of disea...
