Juvenile hemochromatosis (or hemochromatosis type 2) is, as its name indicates, a form of hemochromatosis which emerges during youth.

There are two forms:^[1]

"HFE2A" is associated with hemojuvelin^[2]
"HFE2B" is associated with hepcidin antimicrobial peptide^[3]

Some sources only specifically include hemojuvelin as a cause of juvenile hemochromatosis.^[4]
