Ok, thanks much. Those are my exact results, by the way.

Based on what I've read, people like your sister and me are not supposed to be prone to high iron levels. If you have one bad variant on H63D as well as C282Y, then apparently there's a risk of running high, but not just on one.

There are something like 16 other rarer mutations involved, though, so it would be interesting to know if your sister gets further genetic testing done.

Funny thing with me is that since I tested low ferritin, I bought cast iron cookware and made sure I get plenty of iron in my food. Now I'm not sure what to do.
