Hereditary hemochromatosis (HH) is an autosomal recessive inherited iron-loading disorder and is characterized by chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis, diabetes, and bronze skin. The hemochromatosis gene (C282Y homozygosity)-related hemochromatosis is the most common form of HH. The prevalence of HH is varied. Here, we defined six cases with C282Y homozygosity-related HH in a single center in Turkiye.
