We have identified three novel loci (PDE7B, UBL3, and a new independent marker in CDKN2B-AS1) associated with BRCAX, and replicated previously reported SNPs (24 of 92) and moderate/high-penetrance (seven of 23) genes for Korean BRCAX.
These new genes are located within a region that may well contain the gene responsible for hemochromatosis and have therefore been named HCG I-VII (Hemochromatosis Candidate Gene).
