Hereditary hemochromatosis
Hereditary hemochromatosis-5638
H63D mutation
HFE
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.
- 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
