Jorgen I am not sure what these results indicate, because this is not the way the results are normally written. Is this the only information you have and do you have the written lab result?

Hi Starflower!

Thank you for your reply. I believe cc and ga to be genotypes, but I have no clue as to what they mean, and I haven't been able to look it up online either.

Along with the above lines there followed a short text message:

"genotype not associated with Hemochromatosis - status of children depending of spouse status."

It's the last part that concerns me. Is the test completely negative or am I a carrier? I just can't figure it out.

Regards Jrgen

I don't have the savvy to figure this out..Perhaps you can contact the test source and ask them to elaborate?

Hi All,

Thank you for your reply Leigh444!

I got my oldest daughter tested... Her status:

DNA-HFE-gen (HIS63ASP) : cg
DNA-HFE-gen (CYS282TYR) : ga

The written reply: "This genotype is found in 3% of HFE patients, it's recommended to follow the patients status for iron, transferrin and ferritin"

My guess is that I am Heterozygous on C282Y - and my daughter is Compound Heterozygous C282Y / H63D

The reason why I'm so interested is because both my father and my wife has died in an early age with symptoms I now recognize from Hemochromatosis. (And I care about my daughters :-))

Thoughts anyone ??

Regards Jrgen

You actually have two copies of two different genes for HH the first: ( HIS63ASP) or H63D
(CYS282TYR) or C282Y

There are 20+ mutations for HFE gene, 20+ mutations for HFE2 gene,
HAMP gene 8 mutations, SLC40A1 gene15 mutations, TFR2 gene 9 mutations.. All cause Hemochromatosis..

Hope this helps..
