Identification of HFE, the gene most commonly mutated in patients with hereditary hemochromatosis, has allowed molecular diagnosis and paved the way for identification of other genes, such as TFR2, that are important in non-HFE-associated iron overload.

Four types of inherited iron overload have been recognized: type 1, the most common form with an autosomal recessive inheritance, is associated with mutations in the HFE gene on chromosome 6; type 2 (juvenile hemochromatosis) is an autosomal recessive disorder with causative mutations identified in the HJV gene (subtype A) on chromosome 1 and the HAMP gene (subtype B) on chromosome 19; type 3 has also an autosomal recessive inheritance with mutations in the TfR2 gene on chromosome 3; type 4 is an autosomal dominant condition with heterozygous mutations in the ferroportin 1 gene on chromosome 2.
