A rapid method of haplotyping HFE mutations and linkage disequilibrium in a Caucasoid population

Background—HFE mutations are associated with hereditary haemochromatosis. However, a simple method capable of demonstrating the cis/transarrangement of alleles is lacking, and linkage disequilibrium betweenHFE alleles and classic HLA loci is unknown. These are important issues as the pathogenic role...
