Protein C and Protein S Levels in β-Thalassemia Major Patients in Erbil, Kurdistan Region

open access: yesCellular and Molecular Biology, 2020
Oxygen is transported in the blood through red blood cells and a protein called hemoglobin. The protein consists of two alpha and two beta chains. The lack of any of these chains is caused by the malfunction of the genes that produce them, and can lead to a genetic disease called thalassemia.

Pharmacological Induction of Fetal Hemoglobin in β-Thalassemia and Sickle Cell Disease: An Updated Perspective

open access: yesPharmaceuticals, 2022
A significant amount of attention has recently been devoted to the mechanisms involved in hemoglobin (Hb) switching, as it has previously been established that the induction of fetal hemoglobin (HbF) production in significant amounts can reduce the ...

Adenine base editor–mediated correction of the common and severe IVS1-110 (G>A) β-thalassemia mutation

open access: yesBlood, 2022
Key Points • Adenine base editors efficiently correct the IVS1-110 (G>A) β-thalassemia–causing mutation.• Base editing efficiently corrects the β-thalassemic phenotype in vitro and in vivo.

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

open access: yesGalen 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.

Regulation of iron homeostasis by hepatocyte TFR1 requires HFE and contributes to hepcidin suppression in β-thalassemia.

open access: yesBlood, 2022
Transferrin receptor 1 (TFR1) performs a critical role in cellular iron uptake. Hepatocyte TFR1 is also proposed to influence systemic iron homeostasis by interacting with the hemochromatosis protein HFE to regulate hepcidin production.

Alpha-Hemoglobin Stabilizing Protein Gene Polymorphism (rs4499252 A/G) and its Association with Beta-Thalassemia Major in Iraqi Patients [PDF]

open access: yesArchives of Razi Institute, 2022
Beta thalassemia (β-thalassemia) major is a genetic disorder of hemoglobin production that results in a diminished rate of synthesis of one or more of the globin chains causing variable degrees of anemia.

The pyruvate kinase activator mitapivat reduces hemolysis and improves anemia in a β-thalassemia mouse model.

open access: yesJournal of Clinical Investigation, 2021
Anemia in β-thalassemia is related to ineffective erythropoiesis and reduced red cell survival. Excess free heme and accumulation of unpaired α-globin chains impose substantial oxidative stress on β-thalassemic erythroblasts and erythrocytes, impacting ...

Hematological Parameters in Individuals with Beta Thalassemia Trait in South Sumatra, Indonesia

open access: yesAnemia, 2022
Background. β-Thalassemia has a very wide clinical variation, depending on the severity of the patient’s condition. Individuals with β-thalassemia traits are usually asymptomatic; however, laboratory examination will show mild anemia with microcytic ...
