The genes for hemochromatosis are most common in UK. Irish to be exact.
The UK has a very agressive stance therefore for it.

Homozygosity or double gene expression is 1 in 200. This means that 1.5 million Americans are going to overload iron at some point in their lives even from an ordinary diet. Some population segments such as the Scott/Irish and African-American have twice the double gene expression, 1 in 100, and a carrier rate of an amazing 20%. In Ireland they are reporting an astonishing carrier rate of 33%. That is that one person in three has at least partial genetics for hemochromatosis.
