Early diagnosis andsubsequent treatment can avert these serious complications of haemochromatois.In 1996 a gene for haemochromatosis was detected - HFE gene and its majoritymutation C282Y. The discovery of further mutations followed. Thus there are newopportunities for diagnosis - a genetic test. Its importance is in the early detectionof affected subjects.
