The Genetic Diagnostics of Hemochromatosis: Disparities in Low- Versus High-Income Countries.

This study provides a comprehensive overview of hereditary hemochromatosis (HH), a genetic condition characterized by iron overload due to excessive iron absorption. It elucidates diverse inheritance patterns and clinical manifestations by exploring mutations in critical genes such as HFE (hemochromatosis), HJV (hemojuvelin), HAMP (hepcidin antimicrobial peptide), TfR2 (transferrin receptor 2), and FP (ferroportin). The significance of early screening, diagnosis, and personalized management strategies based on genetic classification is emphasized, particularly in terms of high-income vs.
