Iron plays a key role in maintaining the body. It is used in the production of hemoglobin‚ a protein found in red blood cells‚ which transports oxygen to muscles and tissues throughout the body. On the other hand‚ too much iron is detrimental and can cause various significant diseases. C282Y and H63D are mutations found on the HFE gene and are the major cause of inherited iron overload (hereditary hemochromatosis).
