A Comparison of Intelligence Quotient in Children with and without β-Thalassemia Major

Galen Medical Journal, 2015
Background: Thalassemia is the most common hemoglobinopathy worldwide. Children with β-thalassemia major have several risk factors for cognitive problems. The aim of this study is to evaluate intelligence quotient in children with β-thalassemia major and healthy counterparts using Wechsler Intelligence Scale.

Analysis of a1 and a2 globin genes among patients with hemoglobin Adana in Malaysia [PDF]

, 2016
Hemoglobin (Hb) Adana [HBA2: c179G>A (or HBA1); p.Gly60Asp] is a non-deletional α-thalassemia variant found in Malaysia. An improvement in the molecular techniques in recent years has made identification of Hb Adana much easier.

Study of discriminant factor M/H ratio in screening for β thalassemia trait

IP Journal of Diagnostic Pathology and Oncology, 2020
Introduction: Beta Thalassemia syndrome is a group of hereditary disorders characterized by genetic deficiency in the synthesis of beta globin chains located on chromosome 11. A major diagnostic challenge is to differentiate between mild microcytic hypochromic anaemia due to BTT from other causes such as iron deficiency (IDA), sideroblastic anaemia etc.

The hypercoagulation state among major β-thalassemia patients at H. Adam Malik Hospital, Medan, Indonesia

Bali Medical Journal, 2019
Background: Thalassemia is the most common hereditary blood disorder in the world and Indonesia. Major β-thalassemia is classified as Transfusion-Dependent Thalassemia (TDT). Specific changes in the composition of red cell membrane lipids and hemosiderosis may lead to hypercoagulation.
