The objective was to assess the frequencies of haemochromatosis (HFE) gene mutations or variants C282Y, H63D and S65C in ethnic Danes. This is a prospective epidemiologic population study. A cohort of 6,020 Danish men aged 30-50 years was screened for HFE C282Y (c845G-->A), H63D (c187C-->G) and S65C (c193A-->T) gene variants, assessed on saliva or blood samples by restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis. The C282Y gene variant allele was present in 5.6%, H63D in 12.8% and S65C in 1.8% of the chromosomes. In the entire series, we observed 1.4% H63D/C282Y, 0.1% S65C/C282Y and 0.4% H63D/S65C compound heterozygotes. The C282Y allele frequency in Denmark is of similar order as reported in other Scandinavian countries: Iceland 5.1%, Faeroe Islands 6.6%, Norway 6.8% and Sweden 5.8%. Also, the H63D frequency in Denmark is close to the frequencies in other Scandinavian countries: Iceland 10.9%, Faeroe Islands 15.2%, Norway 11.4% and Sweden 12.1%.
目的是评估丹麦族人群中血色素沉着症(HFE)基因突变或C282Y、H63D和S65C变异的频率。这是一项前瞻性流行病学人群研究。对6020名年龄在30至50岁的丹麦男性队列进行了HFE C282Y(c845G→A)、H63D(c187C→G)和S65C(c193A→T)基因变异筛查,通过限制性片段长度多态性(RFLP)分析对唾液或血液样本进行评估。C282Y基因变异等位基因在5.6%的染色体中存在,H63D在12.8%,S65C在1.8%。在整个系列中,我们观察到1.4%的H63D/C282Y、0.1%的S65C/C282Y和0.4%的H63D/S65C复合杂合子。丹麦的C282Y等位基因频率与其他斯堪的纳维亚国家报告的频率处于相似水平:冰岛5.1%、法罗群岛6.6%、挪威6.8%、瑞典5.8%。此外,丹麦的H63D频率与其他斯堪的纳维亚国家的频率相近:冰岛10.9%、法罗群岛15.2%、挪威11.4%、瑞典12.1%。
