Haemochromatosis gene mutation in hepatocellular cancer

Willis et al used a genetic test to estimate the incidence of hepatocellular cancer among 3,600 individuals predicted to be homozygous for the HLA-H nucleotide 845G to A mutation. The penetrance of the 845A homozygous genotype is low with respect to hepatocellular cancer in this population.
