The human ankyrin 1 promoter insulator sustains gene expression in a β-globin lentiviral vector in hematopoietic stem cells. [PDF]
Lentiviral vectors designed for the treatment of the hemoglobinopathies require the inclusion of regulatory and strong enhancer elements to achieve sufficient expression of the β-globin transgene.

Background. Nontransfusion dependent thalassemia (NTDT) is a milder form of thalassemia that does not require regular transfusion. It is associated with many complications, which differ from that found in transfusion-dependent thalassemia (TDT ...

Awareness of the Thalassemic Patients’ Parents toward Thalassemia in Kirkuk City [PDF]
Background and objectives:- Thalassemia is a blood disorder passed down through families (inherited) in which the body makes an abnormal form of hemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen.

Thalassemia, a human blood disorder
A group of inherited blood defects is known as Thalassemia is among the world’s most prevalent hemoglobinopathies. Thalassemias are of two types such as Alpha and Beta Thalassemia. The cause of these defects is gene mutations leading to low levels and/or

Update in Laboratory Diagnosis of Thalassemia
Alpha- and β-thalassemias and abnormal hemoglobin (Hb) are common in tropical countries. These abnormal globin genes in different combinations lead to many thalassemic diseases including three severe thalassemia diseases, i.e., homozygous β-thalassemia ...

Thalassemia intermedia as a result of heterozygosis for ß0-thalassemia and aaaanti-3.7/aa genotype in a Brazilian patient [PDF]
We report a case in which the interaction of heterozygosis for both the ß0-IVS-II-1 (G->A) mutation and the aaaanti-3.7 allele was the probable cause for the clinical occurrence of thalassemia intermedia.
