What does this test Hemochromatosis Common Mutation Analysis Test In HFE Gene identify?

This test identifies mutations in the HFE gene that are commonly associated with hemochromatosis. Hemochromatosis is a genetic disorder that causes the body to absorb and store too much iron, leading to iron overload. The HFE gene mutations most commonly tested for are C282Y and H63D. Detecting these mutations can help diagnose hemochromatosis and guide treatment decisions.

Why is this test Hemochromatosis Common Mutation Analysis Test In HFE Gene taken?

The Hemochromatosis Common Mutation Analysis Test In HFE Gene is taken to identify mutations in the HFE gene that are associated with hemochromatosis. Hemochromatosis is a genetic disorder that causes the body to absorb too much iron from the diet, leading to an excess buildup of iron in the body's tissues and organs. This can result in damage to the liver, heart, pancreas, and other organs.

By identifying mutations in the HFE gene, healthcare providers can determine if a person is at risk for developing hemochromatosis and provide appropriate management and treatment options. This test is typically recommended for individuals with a family history of hemochromatosis or those who have symptoms of the condition, such as fatigue, joint pain, and abdominal pain.
