pubmed:abstractText
Hereditary hemochromatosis (HFE) is an inherited disorder whose gene lies in the proximity of the histocompatibility antigen (HLA) class I region, on 6p21.3. Despite efforts in refining the HFE region, a number of informative DNA markers, linked to the disease locus and amenable to use in an assay based on the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is available. The gene content of this region is high, and the HFE gene has not so far been identified. We have used a strategy based on PCR protocols potentially able to detect both polymorphisms and expressed sequences. This approach has been applied to a 700-kb stretch (approximately) of DNA corresponding to the insert of a Centre d'Etude du Polymorphisme Humain yeast artificial chromosome (225 B1) of the possible candidate region. Five new polymorphisms have been detected among 20 specific fragments isolated. Four of them are tightly linked to the HFE locus. Because of the strong linkage disequilibrium with the disease demonstrated by these markers, they could represent starting points for the identification and characterization of the HFE gene. The remaining non-polymorphic fragments, being amplifiable and in most cases linked to NotI sites, may be useful starting points for the generation of a genomic contig of band 6p21.3 and for gene identification.
