    This article discusses polymorphisms in the HFE gene which is associated with hereditary hemochromatosis. Two common mutations, C282Y and H63D, in the HFE gene are responsible for the majority of hereditary hemochromatosis cases in various populations. The mutations impair the regulation of iron absorption in the intestine and lead to iron overload in the body's tissues over time if left untreated.
