Beta thalassemia syndromes: New insights.
World J Clin CasesBeta thalassemia (β-thalassemia) syndromes are a heterogeneous group of inherited hemoglobinopathies caused by molecular defects in the beta-globin gene that lead to the impaired synthesis of beta-globin chains of the hemoglobin. The hallmarks of the disease include ineffective erythropoiesis, chronic hemolytic anemia, and iron overload.

Orphanet Journal of Rare Diseases, 2010 Beta-thalassemias are a group of hereditary blood disorders characterized by anomalies in the synthesis of the beta chains of hemoglobin resulting in variable phenotypes ranging from severe anemia to clinically asymptomatic individuals. The total annual incidence of symptomatic individuals is estimated at 1 in 100,000 throughout the world and 1 in 10 ...
