Genetic haemochromatosis edit

Hallo, I've just retargeted this redirect, which you made in 2018, from Iron overload to Hereditary haemochromatosis which appears almost certainly to be a synonym ... but checking in with you here in case there's something I missed and I've got it wrong!

I'm currently falling down a rabbit hole from adding a link to the longlist of Lakeland Book of the Year to writing about a poet who says she has "Genetic Haemachromatosis" ... when the article is ready I'll drop her an email to point out that there are at least two dead links on her "about" page!

Hi PamD, yes I concur. We still have this problem: Looking at Iron overload#Non-classical hereditary hemochromatosis and the hatnote at Hereditary haemochromatosis, looks like we may not be disambiguating Hereditary haemochromatosis / Genetic haemochromatosis i.e. there's a primary topic Haemochromatosis type 1 (aka "classical" hemochromatosis, aka HFE-related Hemochromatosis) and the other genetic causes of hemochromatosis (2-5) are potentially non-primary topics? I can't remember if that was my reasoning to target the broader topic rather than main genetic subtopic, but mirroring as a synonym seems better. In the absence of knowing more about it, I'm not sure what should be done, but we seem to be doing better than, say https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/haemochromatosis/causes/ . Congrats on Polly Atkin, very interesting read. Widefox; talk 22:33, 8 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
