LP19724-1 HFE gene
Hemochromatosis (HFE) gene mutation analysis confirms the diagnosis of hereditary hemochromatosis (HH) when serum transferrin-iron saturation results are elevated. HH is the most common autosomal recessive disease in the Caucasian population. HH causes excess iron absorption that leads to iron deposits in tissues and organs, eventually leading to organ dysfunction and failure. HH can also cause cirrhosis, hepatomas, diabetes, cardiomyopahty, arthritis, and hypogonadotrophic hypogonadism.

LP19724-1 HFE gene
The HFE gene (hemochromatosis) [HGNC Gene ID:4886] is located on chromosome 6p21.3. The protein encoded by this gene is a membrane protein that is similar to MHC class I-type proteins and associates with beta2-microglobulin (beta2M). It is thought that this protein functions to regulate iron absorption by regulating the interaction of the transferrin receptor with transferrin. The iron storage disorder, hereditary haemochromatosis, is a recessive genetic disorder that results from defects in this gene. At least nine alternatively spliced variants have been described for this gene. Additional variants have been found but their full-length nature has not been determined.
