Identification of β-globin gene mutations among transfusion-dependent β-thalassemia patients
BACKGROUND: β-thalassemias are widely distributed in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern countries, including Iraq. There are more than 400 transfusion-dependent β-thalassemia patients registered in the thalassemia center.

Vitamin D, Calcium and Phosphor in Patients with β-Thalassemia Major [PDF]
There has been many reports that patients with β-thalassemia major have bone problems such as thinning of the bone, bone fragility and pathological fractures. For so many years it was believed that the bone problems is mainly caused by marrow expansion due to compenstation of the bone marrow to handle the chronic anaemia and hiypoxia in β-thalassemia

Transcriptional Repressors of Fetal Globin Genes as Novel Therapeutic Targets in Beta-Thalassemia [PDF]
During development the human β-globin gene cluster undergoes two switching processes at the embryo-fetal and fetal-adult stages, respectively, involving changes in chromatin remodeling and in transcriptional regulatory networks. In particular, during the

Two novel deletion mutations in β-globin gene cause β-thalassemia trait in two Chinese families
Background β-Thalassemia is mainly caused by point mutations in the β-globin gene cluster. With the rapid development of sequencing technic, more and more variants are being discovered.
