Hemocromatosis

Hi, my aunt was diagnoised about 2 months ago with Hemocromatosis and Is in liver failure. The dr. says she has less than a year to live without a transplant. My ? is do I need to be tested for this also? My mom was and she was negative {Thank Goodness}. Im just wondering if I should as I have Hypothyroidism also. Any thoughts?

you should definitely be checked for the gene via blood testing. 90% of people who have the condition have a (+) gene test.
