Standard diagnostic measures for<unk> , transferrin saturation and ferritin tests, are not a part of routine medical testing. Screening for<unk>  is recommended if the patient has a parent, child, or sibling with the disease. Routine screening of the general population for<unk>  is generally not done. Mass genetic screening has been evaluated by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, among other groups, which recommended against genetic screening of the general population for<unk>  because the likelihood of discovering an undiagnosed patient with clinically relevant iron overload is less than one in 1,000. Although strong evidence shows that treatment of iron overload can save lives in patients with transfusional iron overload, no clinical study has shown that for asymptomatic carriers of<unk>  treatment with venesection (phlebotomy) provides any clinical benefit. Recently, patients are suggested to be screened for iron overload using serum ferritin as a marker. If serum ferritin exceeds 1000 ng/ml, iron overload is very likely the cause.
