Hemochromatosis Gene (HFE) Gene Mutation Screening is a genetic test that looks for changes in the HFE gene associated with hereditary hemochromatosis, a condition caused by excess iron deposition and absorption in the tissues. This screening examines specific mutations, such as C282Y and H63D, which disrupt normal iron metabolism. Detection of these mutations aids in diagnosing hereditary hemochromatosis and assessing the risk of iron overload-related complications, such as liver disease, diabetes, and heart problems. Early identification through HFE gene mutation screening allows for early intervention strategies, including therapeutic phlebotomy and dietary modifications, to prevent iron overload complications and improve patient outcomes.
