Step I Hemechromatosis???

Everything I learned was that this was a HFE gene deletion on chromosome 6. I go to Q-Bank, and it says it is associated with an HLA. Anybody heard anything about this besides Q-bank??

Q-Bank says smelly feet are associated with an HLA. I swear if I get one more picky motherf-ing HLA question on Q-Bank, I'm going to kill somebody.

HLA associations are useless except for B27. don't kill yourself over it, it's really low yield to remember hemochromatosis is HLA A3. learn more important stuff like acid base. 🙂

Aren't the HLA genes on chromosome 6?

i think so. but what does that have to do with HLA A3 being associated with hemochromatosis and HLA B27 being associated with psoriasis, ankylosing spondylitis, inflammatory bowel disease, and reiter's syndrome? 🙂

Careful...B13 with psoriasis, B27 with psoriatic arthritis 🙄

Q-Bank just informed me of the difference last night. Two weeks ago, I would have eagerly jotted this factoid down in First Aid. Last night, I yelled EAT ME at the computer screen.

A friend of mine taking it soon just got a Burkitts lymphoma question with the translocation 2;8.


he searched me down in the library just to show me it. Our response was very similar to yours.

The way that I understand it is that the HLA A3 gene is tightly linked to the HFE gene. The made the assumption that the two were one in the same gene.

By the way, I didnt get any HLA types questions on my exam today. What a friggin waste. I did get a couple of translocation questions though.
