Abstract
Two patients presenting to a pre‐senile dementia clinic with dementia were also found to have genetic haemochromatosis. In both instances the haemochromatosis was mild and the cognitive dysfunction could not be attributed to hepatic failure. The association of these uncommon diseases may reflect genetic linkage.Keywords
