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.
The two types of hemochromatosis are primary and secondary. Primary hemochromatosis is caused by a defect in the genes that control how much iron you absorb from food. Secondary hemochromatosis usually is the result of another disease or condition that causes iron overload.
