Postnatal and non-invasive prenatal detection of β-thalassemia mutations based on Taqman genotyping assays [PDF]
The β-thalassemias are genetic disorder caused by more than 200 mutations in the β-globin gene, resulting in a total (β0) or partial (β+) deficit of the globin chain synthesis. The most frequent Mediterranean mutations for β-thalassemia are: β039, β+ VSI-

Hematological ratios and cytokine profiles in heterozygous beta-thalassemia
Introduction: β-Thalassemia is defined by a reduced or complete absence of β-globin chain synthesis in hemoglobin, leading to hemolytic anemia. Heterozygous β-thalassemia, also known as β-thalassemia trait (hBTh), the mildest form of this anemia ...

Creative and Adaptive Solutions for Early Diagnosis of Sickle Cell Disease in Sub‐Saharan Africa
ABSTRACT Many of the children with sickle cell disease born in sub‐Saharan Africa remain undiagnosed and untreated. Increasing capacity and infrastructure to support diagnostic and screening programs in high income countries have enabled near universal survival into adulthood.
