Authors' objectives:
To assess evidence sufficiency or insufficiency for hereditary hemochromatosis screening relating to two main United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) criteria: the burden of suffering and the potential effectiveness of a preventive intervention.
Authors' recommendations:
Research addressing genetic screening for hereditary hemochromatosis remains very limited. Not enough is yet known to confidently project the impact or benefit from widespread genetic screening for hereditary hemochromatosis.
