Abstract
HEREDITARY hemachromatosis is the most common inherited disease in Europeans. It occurs in as many as 5 in every 1000 individuals of northern European heritage,1 with 10% to 15% of the population being carriers of mutations in the HFE gene associated with hereditary hemochromatosis.Keywords
