Hemochromatosis is caused by a defect in a gene known as HFE, which stands for high iron Fe. The most common form of hemochromatosis is due to a mutation in the HFE gene inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern, meaning a person must inherit one defective copy of the gene from each parent to be affected. https://www.coherentmarketinsights.com/industry-reports/hemochromatosis-market
