ABSTRACT
The gene for hemochromatosis was identified in 1996 and two mutations were found. Homozygosity for one of these, C282Y, is associated with hemochromatosis in a high percentage of patients. Genetic analysis of patient DNA is, therefore, a very useful tool to aid and confirm diagnosis and to screen asymptomatic relatives of patients to identify those at risk of developing this common, easily treated disease.
