Detection of two point mutations in the human HH gene; C to Y amino acid change at position 282 and H to D amino acid change at position 63. These mutations are associated with iron accumulation and subsequent damage to organs.

This is a genetic test and needs only to be performed once in a lifetime.

Lavender (EDTA), 4mL

• Only one (1) tube needs to be drawn for any combination of the following tests:
  • Calreticulin Exon 9 Assay
  • Factor V Leiden Mutation
  • Factor 2 Mutation
  • Hereditary Hemochromatosis
  • JAK2 V617F Mutation Detection
  • MTHFR C677T assay
• Immediately following collection, mix sample thoroughly by gently inverting 8 - 10, times to prevent clotting
