This mutation is associated with diverse health issues, however H63D syndrome is the only known specific expression of a homozygous HFE-H63D mutation to date. The homozygous HFE-H63D mutation is the cause of classic and treatable hemochromatosis in only 6.7% of its carriers. [ 25 ]
The worldwide prevalence rates for H63D, C282Y and S65C (minor allele frequencies) are 10%, 3% and 1% respectively. [ 29 ] [ 30 ] [ 31 ] The C282Y allele is a transition point mutation from guanine to adenine at nucleotide 845 in HFE , resulting in a missense mutation that replaces the cysteine residue at position 282 with a tyrosine amino acid ...
Iron overload (also known as haemochromatosis or hemochromatosis) is the abnormal and increased accumulation of total iron in the body, leading to organ damage. [1] The primary mechanism of organ damage is oxidative stress, as elevated intracellular iron levels increase free radical formation via the Fenton reaction.
Different versions of the ICD code exist worldwide. The United States currently uses the ICD-10-CM, a Clinical Modification of the World Health Organization standard for diagnoses adapted for insurance reimbursement and billing purposes. This version allows for further breakdown of a code, which increases diagnosis specificity.
ICD-10 is the 10th revision of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD), a medical classification list by the World Health Organization (WHO). It contains codes for diseases, signs and symptoms, abnormal findings, complaints, social circumstances, and external causes of injury or diseases. [1]
In the past, research showed that the austerity of the disease was directly proportional to the number of EHMT1 deletions prevalent in an individual. The greater the deletions, the greater the severity of the condition. However, in recent studies, 9q34 deletion syndrome occurs when the EHMT1 gene is non-functioning, as opposed to strictly deletion.

Hoyeraal–Hreidasson syndrome [2] is a very rare multisystem X-linked recessive disorder characterized by excessively short telomeres and is considered a severe form of dyskeratosis congenita. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] Being an X-linked disorder, Hoyeraal–Hreidasson syndrome primarily affects males.
