What is it? How does it happen. Who has it, and where does it occur? What does is say about humanities modest presence in this large galaxy?
Homeochromatosis is a common genetic disease in the United States. It mainly affects Caucasians of Northern European decent, but rarely African Americans, Asian Americans, Hispanics/Latinos, and American Indians.Also, it is primarily an inherited genetic defect. Roughly one out of every ten Caucasians have one mutated HFE gene(though not all mutations lead to homeochomatosis). Despite its regularity it was not discovered until 1996.
