Test Description
What is Hereditary Hemochromatosis?
Hereditary hemochromatosis is a genetic disorder that causes the body to absorb too much iron from food. Over time, excess iron builds up in organs like the liver, heart, and pancreas, potentially leading to severe health complications such as liver disease, diabetes, and heart problems.
How Common is Hereditary Hemochromatosis?
Approximately 1 in 9 people of European ancestry carry an HFE gene mutation, while 1 in 200 inherit two defective copies, putting them at a higher risk of developing the disease. Symptoms often don’t appear until later in life and can be mistaken for other conditions, leading to underdiagnosis.
This DNA test detects the most common HFE mutations associated with hereditary hemochromatosis, helping assess genetic risk and allowing for early intervention and management.
