Detail Description

Hemochromatosis Common Mutation Analysis in HFE Gene (H63D, S61C & C282Y)

Hemochromatosis is a condition in which the body absorbs too much iron from the food we eat. This excess iron gets stored in various organs such as the liver, heart, and pancreas, which can lead to organ damage and dysfunction.

The most common cause of hemochromatosis is a genetic mutation in the HFE gene. There are three common mutations in the HFE gene that are associated with hemochromatosis - H63D, S61C, and C282Y.

Symptoms of Hemochromatosis

• Fatigue
• Joint pain
• Abdominal pain
• Liver disease
• Diabetes
• Impotence

These symptoms may not appear until middle age, and men are more likely to develop hemochromatosis than women.

Diagnosis of Hemochromatosis

Hemochromatosis can be diagnosed through a blood test that measures the amount of iron in the blood. If the iron levels are high, a genetic test can be done to confirm the presence of HFE gene mutations.
