Hereditary Hemochromatosis (HFE), DNA Analysis

Hereditary hemochromatosis is one of the most common inherited conditions — and easy to miss. This one-time DNA test looks for variants in the HFE gene that cause the body to absorb and store too much iron, an overload that can quietly affect the liver, heart, joints, and pancreas over time.

What it tells you

• Whether you carry HFE variants linked to iron overload
• Valuable context alongside iron and ferritin bloodwork

Who should consider it

Anyone with a family history of hemochromatosis, persistently high iron or ferritin, or unexplained fatigue and joint pain.
