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.
