From what I’ve researched the Alzheimer’s link seems to be connected to the homozygous H63D and does not seem to affect those who are Heterozygous for the same gene mutation.

Interesting to note in the UK. The NHS will not
Test for the APOE4 mutation. As they believe there is not enough evidence of a link between other mutations. Such as the Homozygous HFE H63D and the APOE4 causing memory problems and earlier onset Alzheimer’s.

The Homozygous H63D also carries a triple risk of strokes in the brain.

Homozygous H63D Haemochromatosis ~ It’s more than just iron overload! This is what I promote. Most if not all GH societies just focus on the the iron. But the most striking risk is the link to Alzheimer’s and memory problems. The H63D is indeed very common. 1 in 5 White Europeans are carriers and 1 ...

Information about the H63D mutation Mutations of the hemochromato- sis gene HFe have been associated with liver disease, bone and joint disease, diabetes mellitus, heart disease, hormone imbalances, porphyria cutanea tarda (PCT), infertility, stroke, neurodegen- erative disorders, cancer, venous and...

3 years ago I was diagnosed with 2x H63D gene mutation. This has proved to be a blessing and a curse. As all my life I’ve had memory problems. This has affected all aspects of daily life. The main one being my education. I left school with nothing and for the next forty years. I’ve struggled to hold...

I’m glad I found this forum by accident. I have Hereditary Haemochromatosis. Homozygous for the H63D gene mutation. Which has given me a terrible short term memory and low cholesterol. I have read this maybe due the the APOE e4? How to learn more about here.
