Is genetic screening for hemochromatosis worthwhile?

European journal of epidemiology - 1 Jan 2004

Njajou Omer T, Alizadeh Behrooz Z, van Duijn Cornelia M

Abstract excerpt

Hereditary hemochromatosis is an iron overload disorder and is the most common recessive disease in Caucasians. About 80% of hemochromatosis patients are homozygous for the C282Y mutation in the HFE gene. Since iron accumulation can be prevented by phlebotomy, there is increasing interest in screening populations for hemochromatosis. Hemochromatosis is a disease that meets all the criteria for screening as set by...
