where to get the genetic hfe test

Hi, I'm currently trying to work out whether I have GH. I do definitely have high ferritin 5-700, highish transferrin 53%, normal iron, and hurty knuckles. Also very low DHEA (so adrenal problems), hypothyroid and CFS - all of which are probably linked.

My GP is fairly helpful but thinks that I probably just have inflamation. I want to get the gentic test so that I can rule it out (or in). Dr seems reluctant to do much til ferritin is over 1000, but is redoing all my iron type labs at the moment.

Can anyone recommend any specific labs that do the gentic HFE test?

Thanks.

Amy
