Choose one of the technical texts quoted in this lesson and translate the paragraph into ordinary English.

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Paragraph:

"Hereditary hemochromatosis (HH) is an inherited disorder of iron metabolism, with an estimated prevalence of 0.25-0.50% among Caucasians. An epidemiologic study is currently underway to determine the prevalence, as well as the genetic and environmental determinants, of iron overload related to hereditary hemochromatosis in a multiethnic population."

Translation into ordinary English:

When an individual has an excess of iron in its tissues or the entire body, it can suffer a disorder called "Hereditary hemochromatosis (HH)." This is a dangerous situation for the individual because that excess of iron can be toxic and directly affects organs, causing serious diseases, that if not attended soon, can even cause death. There is a study about epidemics that tries to find the reason -including hereditary reasons-  for this disorder in a multiethnic population.
