Identification of erythroferrone as an erythroid regulator of iron metabolism. [PDF]
Recovery from blood loss requires a greatly enhanced supply of iron to support expanded erythropoiesis. After hemorrhage, suppression of the iron-regulatory hormone hepcidin allows increased iron absorption and mobilization from stores.

An Aγ-globin G->A gene polymorphism associated with β(0)39 thalassemia globin gene and high fetal hemoglobin production [PDF]
Increase of the expression of γ-globin gene and high production of fetal hemoglobin (HbF) in β-thalassemia patients is widely accepted as associated with a milder or even asymptomatic disease. The search for HbF-associated polymorphisms (such as the XmnI,

Introduction Elevated hemoglobin (Hb) A 2 is an important diagnostic marker for β-thalassemia carriers. However, diagnosis of cases with borderline Hb A 2 may be problematic.

Evaluation of the Association of Transferrin Receptor Type 2 Gene Mutation (Y250X) with Iron Overload in Major β-Thalassemia [PDF]
Thalassemia is an inherited blood disorder in which the body produces defective hemoglobin. One of the important processes to reduce the complication of major β-thalassemia is blood transfusion that leads to elevated ferritin levels in the blood.

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

Correlation of BACH1 and hemoglobin E/Beta-thalassemia globin expression [PDF]
Objective: The diverse clinical phenotype of hemoglobin E (HbE)/β-thalassemia has not only confounded clinicians in matters of patient management but has also led scientists to investigate the complex mechanisms involved in maintaining the delicate red ...

Epigenetic Insights and Potential Modifiers as Therapeutic Targets in β–Thalassemia
Thalassemia, an inherited quantitative globin disorder, consists of two types, α– and β–thalassemia. β–thalassemia is a heterogeneous disease that can be asymptomatic, mild, or even severe.

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.

A representative sample of a thousand volunteer university students was screened for evidence of thalassemia minor.Complete blood counts using automated blood cell analysers and blood smears were examined. Patients having anemia, abnormal red cell indices or morphological features of thalassemia minor like hypochromia, microcytosis, target ...
