In the last three decades, with regular red cell transfusions and iron chelators, the survivals of patients with thalassemia, especially for TDT, have significantly improved. The most distinctive change was the

The meaning of BETA-THALASSEMIA is thalassemia in which the longer hemoglobin chain is affected and which comprises Cooley's anemia in the homozygous condition and thalassemia minor in the heterozygous condition.
Beta-thalassemia is prevalent in Mediterranean countries, the Middle East, Central Asia, India, Southern China, and the Far East as well as countries along the north coast of Africa and in South America. The highest carrier frequency is reported in Cyprus (14%), Sardinia (10.3%), and Southe...
There are few studies investigating alpha globin gene triplications in -thalassemia in Asian Indians and its effect on phenotype, which was the primary aim of this study. Gap-PCR was performed in order to detect common alpha thalassemia determinants (±3.7, ±4.2 and ±±±anti 3.7 triplication...
Beta-thalassemia is caused by the reduced (beta+) or absent (beta0) synthesis of the beta globin chains of the hemoglobin tetramer. Three clinical and hematological conditions of increasing severity are recognized, i.e., the beta-thalassemia carrier stat
Beta-thalassemia stands as an autosomal recessive disorder that occurs as a result of a defect in the beta-globin chain synthesis of hemoglobin. Oxidative stress has a crucial role in the β-thalassemia pathophysiology. It occurs due to erythroid expansi

Beta thalassemia is a group of genetic blood disorders that share in common the defective production of hemoglobin, similar to sickle cell. Learn about symptoms, treatment, who is a carrier, and diagnosis for beta thalassemia.
