摘要:
Polymorphic sites in the region surrounding the HFE gene are provided. These polymorphisms are useful as surrogate markers in diagnostic assays for hemochromatosis. Additionally, a fine structure map of the 1 megabase region surrounding the HFE gene is provided, along with 235 kb of DNA sequence and 8 loci corresponding to candidate genes within the 1 megabase region, and in the purification of related proteins.
