Test Description

Helix Hereditary Hemochromatosis Targeted Test is a diagnostic test that analyzes three variants in HFE associated with hereditary hemochromatosis. The two variants C282Y (c.845G>A) and H63D (c.187C>G) are always reported, whereas the S65C (c.193A>T) variant will be reported only when it is observed as part of the C282Y/S65C genotype.
