Disorder
Inheritance
Oligogenic
Status
active

A rare subtype of hemochromatosis characterized by the combination of pathogenic variants in two genes involved in iron metabolism (usually a combination of HFE and non-HFE mutations), where the classical HFE-related hemochromatosis is not enough to fully explain the clinical picture of the patient.
