Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Hemochromatosis (he-moe-kroe-muh-TOE-sis) causes your body to absorb too much iron from the food you eat. Excess iron is stored in your organs, especially your liver, heart and pancreas. Too much iron can lead to life-threatening conditions, such as liver disease, heart problems and diabetes.
Detailed explanation-2: -Haemochromatosis is caused by a faulty gene that can be passed on to a child by their parents. Most cases are linked to a fault in a gene called HFE, which affects your ability to absorb iron from food. Normally, your body maintains a steady level of iron.
