In the case of hemochromatosis, it is believed that a single individual in Europe, 60 to 70 generations ago, was the sole origin of most of the hemochromatosis seen in the world today.
Hemochromatosis results in the build-up of high levels of iron in the body, called iron overload. People with hereditary hemochromatosis, the most common form of hemochromatosis, have the disorder from birth, but generally do not begin to experience symptoms until they are in middle age.
