Hereditary Hemochromatosis DNA Analysis

Hereditary Hemochromatosis DNA Analysis is a genetic test that identifies mutations in the HFE gene, which are associated with hereditary hemochromatosis—a condition characterized by excessive iron absorption in the body. This test is particularly useful for diagnosing individuals at risk of developing iron overload due to genetic predisposition. Early detection through genetic testing is crucial for managing iron levels and preventing potential complications associated with the disease. Genetic counseling may also be recommended to discuss the implications of the test results and potential screening for family members.
