A member asked:
I got a genetic test to see if i might have hemochromatosis. the c282y, and s65c was negative. the h63d was heterozygous. what does this mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
There is a gene mutation and one normal copy. The gene mutation has been associated with hemochromatosis, and since you have only one copy, the clinical disease is often milder. Please consult with the ordering physician and you may also request a genetics counselor. The rest of the panel is negative or normal.
