Hereditary pancreatitis (OMIM 167800) is thought to be associated with a mutation of the exon 3 of cationic trypsinogen (Nature Genet (1996): 14:141-145). This paper reports sequence data of two independent families suffering from this disease. PCR amplificates from leukocyte or buccal swab DNA show
Homozygosity for the mutation Cys282Tyr in the HFE gene has recently been identified as a cause of hereditary hemochromatosis, a disorder resulting in the inappropriate absorption of iron. Approximately 10% of Caucasians are heterozygous for this mutation; however, the gene frequency in African Amer
