Does hemochromatosis skip generation

Short answer: yes

Hereditary haemachromatosis is autosomal recessive, meaning you have to have 2 copies of the faulty gene to have the condition.

Therefor, someone with hereditary haemachromatosis would have to have children either with someone who is a carrier (1 copy of the gene) or someone with haemachromatosis to have offspring with the condition.

It can 'skip' generations by 2 carriers (1 copy of the gene) having children and having an affected offspring, but the chance of that happening is 1/4.
