Diabetes in screening hemochromatosis. Percentages of participants in population-based screening studies discovered to have HFE p.C282Y homozygosity who reported that they had previous diagnoses of diabetes [115, 170–172]. There were two such reports from 2002 and two others from 2008. Hemochromatosis was also evaluated with iron phenotyping. In the respective populations, the prevalence of diabetes in p.C282Y homozygotes and control subjects did not differ significantly.
