How can you use “hfe” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
In addition, the haplotypes A*01-B*08 and A*02-B*44 significantly associated with CVID and IgGSD in the present study are common in both hemochromatosis probands homozygous for HFE C282Y and control subjects in Alabama [ [ 10 ] ; present study].
No patient declined to undergo HFE mutation analysis after it was determined that he/she had a hemochromatosis phenotype.
These observations imply that susceptibility alleles for CVID and IgGSD occur on haplotypes that sometimes include the HFE C282Y allele.
In several countries in northwestern Europe, however, the percentage of C282Y homozygotes in hemochromatosis case series is greater than 90% [ 33 34 35 37 38 ] . In Queensland, a frequency of C282Y homozygosity of 100% was reported among patients identified by phenotype criteria [ 42 ] . Thus, the selection criterion of C282Y homozygosity in the present study nonetheless resulted in a group of hemochromatosis probands the HFE genotypes of which are similar to those of hemochromatosis patients of northwestern European descent in other studies.
A variety of HFE missense mutations occur in association with A*03-B*07 haplotypes in white Alabamians.
