About this test

Haemochromatosis aka 'the Celtic curse' is one of the most common inherited conditions in the UK, causing your body to absorb too much iron. Over time, iron can build up increasing the risk of liver & heart problems, diabetes and even cancer. Find out if you are at risk with our easy-to-use home test kit.

Genetic predisposition to haemochromatosis, a condition that causes iron overload, is often missed, with only 1 in 5,000 ever diagnosed. Symptoms like fatigue, joint pain, palpitations or stomach discomfort could be signs of iron overload. With early testing, it's possible to treat the condition before it causes serious health problems. Our easy-to-use haemochromatosis test looks for key changes in the HFE gene. If you have a family history, it's a smart step for both you and your loved ones.

  • Genetic testing for mutations in the HFE gene (C282Y, H63D and S65C)
  • DNA analysis from a simple saliva sample
  • Results in 1-2 weeks from sample arrival at our lab
