What is Hemochromatosis Common Mutation Analysis in HFE Gene (H63D, S61C & C282Y)?

This blood test looks for the three most common genetic changes (mutations: H63D, S61C, C282Y) in the HFE gene. These mutations are strongly associated with hereditary hemochromatosis, a condition where the body absorbs too much iron.

Why is this test important?

Identifying these mutations helps diagnose hereditary hemochromatosis, allowing for early intervention to prevent iron overload and related organ damage. It's also useful for screening family members of affected individuals.

How to Prepare

No special preparation required.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to fast before my blood test?▼

It depends on the test. Tests like lipid profile and fasting blood sugar require 10-12 hours of fasting. Tests like CBC, vitamin D, and thyroid do not require fasting. Each test page on our website clearly states the fasting requirements.
