    Causes

    Verified Expert

    • It is caused due to inheritance of defective gene.
    • Type I hemochromatosis is caused by defects (mutations) in the HFE gene which has many purposes, but an important role is to control the amount of iron that is absorbed from food.
    • There are several known mutations in the HFE gene, but presently testing for only three is available: C282Y, H63D, and S65C.
    • Disruption of the hormone hepcidin which is secreted by the liver and responsible to control the iron absorption would also lead to hemochromatosis.
    • Autoimmunity in a neonate can also be a cause of hemochromatosis in kids.
    • Multiple blood transfusion in people suffering with severe cases of anemia might also lead to hemochromatosis.
