Sequence-based mutation analysis

SNP's

Because the HFE-Gen has no annotated functional site, we can just adress the biochemical changes for each SNP. A change in functionality or stability can not described.
To compare the biochemical properties of the amino acid's, we used the very convenient function of wolfram alpha.
