Hereditary hemochromatosis is the genetic form of hemochromatosis, a disease characterized by a progressive iron overload.
Your result:
Normal iron metabolism
Based on the deCODEme Genetic test for the C282Y mutation (rs1800562) and the H63D mutation (rs1799945) associated with hereditary hemochromatosis, your results are: (highlighted in green)

Keep in mind
These are the results of calculations comparing your genetic sequence to sequence of participants in studies published in the world literature.
Regardless of the outcome of the deCODEme Genetic Scan, if you have the described signs and symptoms of hemochromatosis, you should talk to your doctor since the symptoms could be due to other genetic variants or an indication of another illness.
