摘要
Hereditary hemochromatosis mutation 845A (C282Y) in the HFE gene was recently described, and the C282Y frequencies were reported for various world populations. The aim of this study was to determine the Y allele frequencies of the C282Y mutation for five French populations. The most elevated value (=5.6%) was obtained for Bretons, in accordance to the hypothesis indicating a Celtic origin of the hereditary hemochromatosis mutation. (C) 1998 Academic Press.
