I wrote to Dr. Keith Roach and his reply to me was, “Well, based on the genetic test, you have two abnormal copies of the gene, but because you don’t have iron overload (the ferritin is the best test), you are unlikely to develop any problems. The abnormal gene mutation you have 2 copies of confers a lower risk that the C282Y mutation. Only about 1% of women with your genes will have iron overload (versus 50% of women (and 85% of men) with 2 copies of C282Y). Donating blood periodically is a good idea, since your iron levels are slightly high, so you will help yourself and others by donating.”
