Predicting factors of survival rates among alpha- and beta-thalassemia patients: a retrospective 10-year data analysis

Frontiers in Hematology
BackgroundThalassemia is a genetic hemoglobinopathy in which a defective globin chain can cause transfusion-dependent anemia and other complications.

Cellular and biochemical heterogeneity contributes to the phenotypic diversity of transfusion-dependent β-thalassemia

Blood Advances
Abstract Transfusion-dependent thalassemia (TDT) is a type of protein aggregation disease. Its clinical heterogeneity imposes challenges in effective management. Red blood cell (RBC) variables may be clinically relevant as mechanistic parts or tellers of TDT pathophysiology.

Longitudinal Analysis of Sleep‐Disordered Breathing and Cognitive Outcomes in Children Living With Sickle Cell Anaemia

Clinical Otolaryngology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives Sleep‐disordered breathing (SDB) and cognitive challenges are commonly observed in children living with sickle cell anaemia (SCA). This study investigated the longitudinal change in polysomnographic outcomes and the association with cognitive functions in children living with SCA.

Analysis of Common Alpha-Globin Gene Abnormalities and Their Effects as Genetic Modifiers in Thai Children With β-Globin Gene Abnormalities

Anemia
Beta-thalassemia exhibits a broad phenotypic range influenced by the severity of HBB mutation and various genetic modifiers. One of the most essential modifiers is the coinheritance of α-globin gene mutation.

Evaluation of mathematical indices as tools for distinguishing β-thalassemia trait from iron deficiency anemia in Portuguese females with microcytic anemia [PDF]

, 2019
Microcytic anemia is a common condition frequently caused by iron deficiency anemia (IDA) or β-thalassemia trait (BTT). Some mathematical indices have been described as fast and inexpensive tools for distinguishing these two conditions.

Whole Blood Transcriptomic Analysis of Sickle Cell Trait

European Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sickle cell trait (SCT) is the heterozygous carrier state for the HBB missense variant which causes sickle cell disease (SCD). SCT has been associated with increased risk of venous thromboembolism and chronic kidney disease as well as alterations in clinical laboratory parameters. To investigate differential gene expression in SCT, we used RNA

Cascade Screening of β-Thalassemia in an Indian Family Using Flow Injection Analysis–Triple Quadrupole Mass Spectrometry: Comparison of Micro Sampling Approaches with Conventional Electrophoresis

Thalassemia Reports
Background: β-thalassemia is a rare genetic disorder affecting 1–5% of the global population and poses a health burden due to migration of individuals from endemic regions. Identifying asymptomatic β-thalassemia carriers is essential to prevent the birth

Vitamin and mineral supplementation for β-thalassemia during COVID-19 pandemic

Future Science OA, 2020
Aim: Low levels of immune-related micronutrients have been identified in β-thalassemia samples. Moreover, the excess amount of iron, contributing to oxidative stress in the pathogenesis of the disease, alters the immune system in β-thalassemia, which is ...
