HEIDELBERG, Germany, Feb. 11 (UPI) -- German medical scientists have discovered hereditary hemochromatosis -- Europe's most common genetic disease -- is caused by a genetic defect in the liver
Much less widely known than the dangerous consequences of iron deficiencies is the fact that too much iron can also cause problems, the researchers said.
