Spectrum of mutations in the HFE gene implicated in haemochromatosis and porphyria.

abstract：:Xq28 has been of special interest in human genetics because a large number of diseases map to this region. As a step in the molecular analysis of the as yet uncloned disease genes, and as a test for the detailed analysis of larger regions of the genome, we have constructed YAC clone contigs covering the 7.5 Mb region ...
