Genetic Hemochromatosis (HH)  is a often seen autosomal recessive genetic disease of iron metobolism, and it is charecterized by the accumulation of iron at internal organs (liver, heart, pancreas), sirocco, diabetes, cardiomyopathy and the early deaths. The rate of beiing seen is 1/200-400, and the frequency of being carrier is 1/8-10.  The disease is seen on men moren than women, and seen between the ages of 30-60. The gene of HH (HFE) is at 6. chromosome. And more than 25% of the patients have C282Y mutations.

Early diagnosis is the most important step in the development of prognosis. The method of therapeutics flebectomia (the method of obtaining the blood from the patient)used on patients is an effective way for diminishing the accumulation of iron.
