Haemochromatosis
- Most forms of haemochromatosis are caused by mutations in the HFE gene; less common forms carry mutations in the TFR2 or FPN1 gene.
- Haemochromatosis can lead to liver cirrhosis, liver cancer, diabetes, arthritis, and cardiopathies.
- If treatment is started before organs are damaged, these associated conditions can be prevented.
- Premature death or organ failure may occur if the condition is left untreated.
- Therapeutic bleeding is a simple, safe and effective treatment.
- Thus, early diagnosis allows a virtually normal life for affected individuals.
