The ancestral haplotype markers HLA -A3 and B7 do not influence the likelihood of advanced hepatic fibrosis or cirrhosis in HFE hemochromatosis
Abstract Advanced hepatic fibrosis occurs in up to 25% of individuals with C282Y homozygous hemochromatosis. Our aim was to determine whether human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-A3 and B7 alleles act as genetic modifiers of the likelihood of advanced hepatic fibrosis. Between 1972 and 2013, 133 HFE C282Y...
