<h4>Background</h4> The iron overload condition Hereditary Heamochromatosis (HH) can cause liver cirrhosis and cancer, diabetes and arthritis. In Europeans, most HH disease occurs in male HFE p.C282Y homozygotes, yet only a minority of homozygotes in the general population develop these conditions.
