Can haemochromatosis be passed on to children?

Whether haemochromatosis can be passed on to children needs to be analysed according to its type and specific circumstances. In the case of primary haemochromatosis, there is a possibility of inheritance, but it is not 100% passed on to offspring. If you have a family member with haemochromatosis, it is advisable to undergo genetic screening and to avoid exposure to harmful factors that cause malformations and mutations during pregnancy, so as to reduce the number of children born with the disease. In the case of secondary haemochromatosis, it is usually not hereditary and treatment of the secondary factors is sufficient.
