Abstract

Hereditary hemochromatosis (HH) is a common autosomal recessive disorder causing inappropriate dietary iron absorption that affects North Europeans. HH is associated with the C282Y mutation of the HFE gene, and the H63D mutation to a lesser degree. Both mutations are abundant in Europe, with H63D also appearing in North Africa, the Middle East, and Asia. Emigration from Europe over the past 500 years has introduced C282Y and H63D to America, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa in an essentially predictable fashion. The distinctive characteristics of the population genetics of HH are the confined racial distribution and high frequency in North European peoples. C282Y frequencies in North Europeans are typically between 5% and 10%, with homozygotes accounting for between 1/100 and 1/400 of these populations. The scarcity of the C282Y mutation in other populations accounts for the lack of HH in non-Europeans.
