In Patients with Minor Beta-Thalassemia, Cognitive Performance Is Related to Length of Education, But not to Minor Beta-Thalassemia or Hemoglobin Levels

Iranian Journal of Psychiatry, 2018
Objective: Thalassemia is one of the most frequent monogenic disorders, leading to impairment in the maturation and survival of red blood cells. The question examined here is whether, and if so, to what extent, people with beta-thalassemia might also be ...

Barriers to Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant Among Caregivers and Adolescents With Sickle Cell Disease

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, Volume 72, Issue 7, July 2025.
ABSTRACT Background Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is a curative treatment for sickle cell disease (SCD). However, barriers exist that prevent access to this treatment modality. Methods An IRB‐approved mixed‐method survey of barriers to HSCT in SCD was given to parents, caregivers, and adolescents obtaining care at the Children's of ...

Beta-thalassemia: from genotype to phenotype

Haematologica, 2011
Beta-thalassemias are heterogeneous autosomal recessive hereditary anemias characterized by reduced or absent β globin chain synthesis. The resulting relative excess of unbound α globin chains precipitate in erythroid precursors in the bone marrow, leading to their premature death and, hence ...

Fuzzy-Based Fusion Model for β-Thalassemia Carriers Prediction Using Machine Learning Technique

Advances in Fuzzy Systems
The abnormality of haemoglobin in the human body is the fundamental cause of thalassemia disease. Thalassemia is considered a common genetic blood condition that has received extensive investigation in medical research globally.

Is Enhancer Function Driven by Protein–Protein Interactions? From Bacteria to Leukemia

BioEssays, Volume 47, Issue 6, June 2025.
Enhancers are key regulatory elements that are conceptually conserved from bacteria to humans. Enhancer dysregulation is common in cancers, including leukemia. We argue that highly specific protein–protein interactions, including transcription factors, mediate enhancer‐promoter proximity to allow enhancer‐bound factors to directly act on RNA polymerase

Evaluation of Interleukin – 33 level in Iraqi children with Beta-thalassemia major [PDF]

, 2014
Background: Thalassemia and a bnormal hemoglobin are the most common genetic disorders and are considered health Prpblems in many developing countries. Beta-Thalassemia major is the most familiar type, in which the beta-globin chain synthesis is impaired.
