What do you suggest if my dad has niemann pick's disease type c and also hemochromatosis.?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Love him: Hemochromatosis is deadly if missed but very easy to manage. Niemann-Pick's C is getting picked up more often. See whether Dad wants to try to get into a study -- your physician can offer guidance. He's fortunate to have a youngster who cares. Best wishes.
