Diagnosed with cadaan gene mutation disease

I was just diagnosed with gene mutation related to iron problem or something. I carry a copy of a gene called h63d. I got the diagnosis after doctor ordered a genetic test after my blood results showed elevated iron and saturation. My doctor straight up said this aint African disease chief.

The gene is mostly in Europe, rare in Africa and East Asia, but it is prominent in South Asians as well

Europeans 17-27%
South Asians 7-17%

Asians and Africans 1-3%


So, in theory you could be one of the very unlucky Africans who got that disease, or you could have some South Asians in you.
