Effect of Epigallocatechin‐3‐Gallate on Depression‐Related Cytokines in Thalassemia Patients: Molecular and Cellular Evaluation

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
This study investigates the effects of Epigallocatechin‐3‐Gallate (EGCG), a potent anti‐inflammatory polyphenol isolated from Winged Marigold, on cytokine expression linked to depression in β‐thalassemia patients. EGCG demonstrated dose‐dependent suppression of key inflammatory cytokines (IL‐6, IL‐1β, TNF‐α, IFN‐γ) at both gene and protein levels ...

Thalassemia

Trends in Pediatrics, 2021
Defects in protein structure or synthesis of hemoglobin are called hemoglobinopathies. Thalassemia is the most common hemoglobinopathy, and it is estimated that 5% of the world population carries at least one variant allele of thalassemia.

Alpha Thalassemia Disorders

, 2012
The thalassaemias, the commonest monogenic diseases, are a family of inherited disorders of haemoglobin synthesis characterised by a reduced output of one or other of the globin chains of adult haemoglobin. They are likely to pose an increasing health problem for many developing countries during the early part of the new millennium (1).

Heterozygous Beta‐Thalassaemia in Pregnancy: Two Rare Causes of Severe Fetal Anemia Requiring Intrauterine Blood Transfusions

Prenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim In this article, we present two cases of severe fetal hemolytic anemia based on a beta‐thalassaemia trait inherited from a single parent. Results These cases, presented at 20 and 28 weeks' gestation, necessitated intra‐uterine blood transfusions.

Rare double heterozygosity for poly A(A>G) and CD17(A>T) of beta thalassemia intermedia in a Chinese family

Hematology Reports, 2019
Beta thalassemia is a hereditary disorder resulted from mutations in the β globin gene leading to alpha/beta imbalance, ineffective erythropoiesis, and chronic anemia.

Alpha thalassemia deletions found in suspected cases of beta thalassemia major in Pakistani population

Pakistan Journal of Medical Sciences, 2017
Background & Objective: Alpha (α) thalassemia is a hereditary disorder and is caused by deletions or mutations in globin genes. It is present in two clinically significant forms: hemoglobin Bart hydrops fetalis (Hb Bart) syndrome and hemoglobin H (HbH ...

Prevalence of Alpha(α)-Thalassemia in Southeast Asia (2010–2020): A Meta-Analysis Involving 83,674 Subjects

International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2020
Alpha(α)-thalassemia is a blood disorder caused by many types of inheritable α-globin gene mutations which causes no-to-severe clinical symptoms, such as Hb Bart’s hydrops fetalis that leads to early foetal death. Therefore, the aim of this meta-analysis

Diagnosis and Management of Prenatal Hereditary Pyropoikilocytosis

Prenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hereditary pyropoikilocytosis (HPP) is a severe hemolytic anemia caused by variants in SPTA1, SPTB, and EPB41. These weaken horizontal interactions in the erythrocyte cytoskeleton, causing membrane fragmentation and splenic sequestration. It will readily cause fetal anemia and often hydrops fetalis. Prenatal diagnosis requires first ruling out
