Note to self: need to look into hemochromatosis classification further and flesh out our hierarchy eg bronze diabetes.
the parent of 'hereditary hemochromatosis' is hemosiderosis, we don't have a general hemochromatosis class. I'll look into this further
from Peter: Many but not all cases of hemochromatosis are Mendelian.
Heamochromatosis shouldnt be is_a Hemosiderosis
Difference between haemochromatosis and Hemosiderosis Hemochromatosis is a rare disease in which direct deposition of iron takes place in body organs such as liver, spleen, pancreas and skin that cause tissue damage. Hemosiderosis on the other hand side is a disorder characterized by deposition of excess iron within the body tissues that normally do not containing iron.
