In your letter, you mentioned Navajo and Breton (the Celtic language of Brittany); coincidentally, this morning I got a letter from a colleague who has published an extensive dictionary of Hopi and is working with educators to help Hopi children learn their ancestral language.
This disorder is typically associated with homozygosity for the C282Y mutation of the HFE gene (exon 2, nt 845 G→A) on Ch6p [ 1 ] . C282Y lies within an ancestral haplotype which includes the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) haplotype A*03-B*07 [ 2 3 4 5 ] . The ancestral haplotype is the predominant hemochromatosis-associated haplotype in many northwestern European countries, including Ireland [ 6 ] , Brittany [ 2 ] , Denmark [ 7 8 ] , Sweden [ 9 ] , and Germany [ 10 11 ] . This is attributed to the origin of the C282Y mutation on an A*03-B*07 haplotype in northwestern Europe and its early dissemination by Vikings [ 3 12 ] . Modification of the ancestral chromosome by recombination and admixture as a result of geographic migration explains the occurrence of chromosomes bearing C282Y in association with different HLA haplotypes [ 2 4 8 13 14 15 16 ] . Thus some non-ancestral haplotypes also occur with significantly increased frequencies in hemochromatosis patients in various countries in Europe and in descendants of Europeans [ 5 16 ] .
Consequently, the realm broke up into the fiefdoms of the feudal Middle Ages, precursors of the country’s classical provinces — Provence, Burgundy, Normandy, Brittany, and so forth.
The frequencies of the A*03-B*14 haplotype were significantly increased in persons with hemochromatosis in Brittany, Sweden, Utah, and Alabama (Table 5) [ Additional file 3] [ 31 ] . A significantly increased absolute frequency of the haplotype A*03-B*35 occurred in Alabama probands and in hemochromatosis patients in Italy [ 29 ] . A significantly increased frequency of the haplotype A*03-B*15 was observed in the present Alabama hemochromatosis probands; a relative increase in this haplotype was detected in hemochromatosis cohorts in Brittany and Utah [ 2 20 ] . A significantly increased frequency of the haplotype A*03-B*44 was observed in the present Alabama hemochromatosis probands, whereas a relative increase in this haplotype was reported in hemochromatosis cohorts in Sweden, Brittany, and Utah only after "correction" of the data for the preponderance of other haplotypes (Table 5) [ Additional file 3] [ 31 ] . The increased frequencies of the A*01-B*60, A*02-B*39, A*02-B*62, A*03-B*13, A*03-B*27, A*03-B*47, and A*03-B*57 haplotypes observed in Alabama probands in the present study were not reported in persons with hemochromatosis in the seven other countries for which data were available (Table 5) [ Additional file 3] [ 31 ] .
Pointing out into the Atlantic on the country’s western edge, Brittany’s spectacular shoreline has earned the region a reputation for rough weather.
