lead to hereditary hemochromatosis: C282Y and H63D. These two mutations are responsible for almost 90% of people with iron overload due to hereditary hemochromatosis. Hereditary hemochromatosis is diagnosed when your blood tests show that you have iron overload AND you also carry two muta...

It has recently been shown that the iron isotopic composition of blood differs between individuals and sexes, which is supposed to reflect individual differences in iron metabolism. We hypothesized that patients suffering from hereditary hemochromatosis would demonstrate alterations in the iron isotopic comp...
Most patients with hemochromatosis are diagnosed between the ages of 30 and 50, and about 75% have no symptoms. Hemochromatosis is discovered when elevated levels of iron in the blood are found as part of routine blood testing; or when blood iron levels are measured as in screening studies in...
