.BETA.+-Thalassemia with Hemochromatosis.
A 64-year-old man was admitted due to ascites. Laboratory data showed hemoglobin 6.7 g/dl, mean corpuscular volume 82 fl, and ferritin 2,360 ng/ml. Liver biopsy showed hemochromatosis. The diagnosis of beta-thalassemia was suggested by a decreased ratio of beta/alpha-globin synthesis in vitro (0.26).

Identification of erythroferrone as an erythroid regulator of iron metabolism. [PDF]
Recovery from blood loss requires a greatly enhanced supply of iron to support expanded erythropoiesis. After hemorrhage, suppression of the iron-regulatory hormone hepcidin allows increased iron absorption and mobilization from stores.

Transcriptional regulation of the ABCC6 gene and the background of impaired function of missense disease-causing mutations. [PDF]
The human ATP-binding cassette family C member 6 (ABCC6) gene encodes an ABC transporter protein expressed primarily in the liver and to a lesser extent in the kidneys and the intestines.

Identification of Delta-beta Thalassemia in a Family with Elevated Hb F: A Case Report [PDF]
Delta-beta Thalassemia is a rare variant of thalassemia with elevated Hb F. Heterozygous and homozygous state of delta-beta thalassemia present with features similar to Hereditary Persistence of Fetal Haemoglobin (HPFH) and beta thalassemia ...

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.

Beta-thalassemia: renal complications and mechanisms: a narrative review
Objectives: Beta-thalassemias are a group of recessively autosomal inherited disorders of hemoglobin synthesis, which, due to mutations of the beta-globin gene, lead to various degrees of defective beta-chain production, an imbalance in alpha/beta-globin

BACKGROUND: Anemia of β thalassemia results from a combination of ineffective erythropoiesis and hemolysis. This stimulates erythropoietin (EPO) production, which causes expansion of the bone marrow and may lead to serious deformities of the skull and ...

Prevalence of the C282Y and H63D mutations of the HFE hemochromatosis gene in Azerian major β-thalassemia and iron overload [PDF]
In this study, we have determined the allele frequency of HFE mutations H63D and C282Y in a group of Azerian beta-thalassemia major patients. These two mutations are implicated in hereditary hemochromatosis among Caucasians.
