- Hereditary hemochromatosis is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder that causes the body to absorb too much iron from the diet. This excess iron is stored in the body's tissues and organs, particularly the skin, heart, liver, pancreas, and joints. Because humans cannot increase the excretion of iron, excess iron can overload and eventually damage tissues and organs. A. Symptoms of hereditary hemochromatosis include fatigue, joint pain, arthritis, diabetes, heart disease, skin discoloration, delayed puberty in males, and premature menopause in women. All of these symptoms result a single mutation in a specific gene. Name and define this genetic phenomenon and explain how it relates to this specific genetic situation described above.arrow_forward오오토오 오모 a. What is the mode of inheritance for this rare disease? b.
