pas possible de dire avec certitude si la mala-
die va se manifester ou pas. Mais la présence
de deux mutations de l’hémochromatose héré-
ditaire prédispose sans aucun doute à une
surcharge en fer, ce qui fait que dans de telles
situations, il faut contrôler régulièrement les
paramètres du fer, ce qui permettra de faire
immédiatement le diagnostic et de mettre en
route le traitement à temps. Il vaut encore
mieux conseiller à ces patients d’être donneurs
réguliers de sang, pour prévenir une accumu-
lation de fer.
