Genetic Haemochromatosis 

Over 9 million people in the UK may carry a genetic predisposition to haemochromatosis, a common but often undiagnosed iron overload disorder.

Despite its prevalence, only about 1 in 5,000 people receive a diagnosis.

Symptoms can include fatigue, heart palpitations, joint pain, and abdominal discomfort.

Our genetic test screens for the three key mutations in the HFE gene—C282Y, H63D, and S65C – which are found in 95% of people with genetic haemochromatosis. Identifying these markers can help confirm a diagnosis and guide effective management.
