A doctor has provided 1 answer

Carrier: It sounds like your husband is a carrier, but less likely actually to be affected by, both hemochromatosis (i also carry it, it's a plus for me as a blood donor) and antitrypsin deficiency (mz's are fairly common and are unlikely to have catastrophic liver disease from it.) with fat in his liver, why not undertake husband-and-wife fitness as a top family priority?
