Despite a plausible biological hypothesis, our study results do not support that thalassemia minor could be a risk factor for suicidal, impulsivity and aggressive behaviors.doi:10.4236/psych.2010.11003Alireza Fotouhi GhiamAlireza HashemiSamira Taban...
We present a case with a rare association between two genetic conditions: Turner phenotype and beta thalassemia minor. Turner syndrome is a chromosomal disorder that is characterized by the absence of all or part of a second sex chromosome in some or all cells. This condition occurs in 1 in ...
Dr. Neel recognized that the parents of children with thalassemia major had thalassemia minor with one beta thalassemia gene. When these parents had children, they had a 25% chance of having a thalassemia major child (with both genes for beta thalassemia), a 50% chance of having children with...
Because total cholesterol levels have been found to be lower in patients affected by thalassemia major and intermedia, we examined the plasma lipid pattern of 628 beta-thalassemia trait carriers and 4552 controls in order to evaluate whether the plasma lipid impairment is also present in the heteroz...
Beta-thalassemia minor Carriers of thalassemia minor are usually clinically asymptomatic but sometimes have a mild anemia. When both parents are carriers there is a 25% risk at each pregnancy of having children with homozygous thalassemia. Dominant beta-thalassemia ...

CONCLUSIONS: We concluded that short stature was significantly more prevalent in the healthy beta thalassemia minor subjects than in the control group (p<0.001). Therefore, thalassemia minor can cause short stature. 展开 关键词: short stature beta thalassemia minor growth rate ...
Thalassemia minor is clinically asymptomatic but some subjects may have moderate anemia. Beta-thalassemias are caused by point mutations or, more rarely, deletions in the beta globin gene on chromosome 11, leading to reduced (beta+) or absent (beta0) synthesis of the beta chains of hemoglobin ...
