Identification of the HFE gene and its C282Y and H63D mutations has improved the classification of iron overload disorders. Inherited hemochromatosis is due mainly, or perhaps only, to C282Y homozygosity, whereas nonhemochromatosis forms of iron overload are due to other HFE mutations and are usu...
