Management of Iron Overload in Beta-Thalassemia Patients: Clinical Practice Update Based on Case Series

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2020
Thalassemia syndromes are characterized by the inability to produce normal hemoglobin. Ineffective erythropoiesis and red cell transfusions are sources of excess iron that the human organism is unable to remove.

Determination of mutations in iron regulating genes of beta thalassemia major patients of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan

open access: yesMolecular Genetics & Genomic Medicine, 2020
Background Hepcidin and hemochromatosis (HFE) are iron regulatory proteins that are encoded by HAMP and HFE genes. Mutation in either HAMP gene or HFE gene causes Hepcidin protein deficiency that can lead to iron overload in beta thalassemia patients ...

The impact of iron deficiency on the diagnostic level of HbA2 in beta- thalassemia trait from the Sulaimani hemoglobinopathies screening program.

open access: yesAdvanced Medical Journal, 2022
Background and objectives: The identification of carriers of beta- thalassemia depends on the detection of a high level of hemoglobin A2. The hemoglobin A2 level is influenced by some elements including iron.

.BETA.+-Thalassemia with Hemochromatosis.

open access: yesInternal Medicine, 1992
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).

TyG index and insulin resistance in beta-thalassemia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Insulin resistance (IR) underlies some glucose metabolism abnormalities in thalassemia major. Recently, triglyceride glucose index (TyG) has been proposed for evaluating insulin resistance as a simple, low cost, and accessible tool.

Frequency of hereditary hemochromatosis gene mutations and their effects on iron overload among beta thalassemia patients of Chennai residents

open access: yesAIMS Molecular Science, 2021
Hereditary Hemochromatosis (HH) is an autosomal recessive disorder of iron metabolism associated with HFE gene mutations, characterized by increased iron absorption and accumulation leading to multi-organ damage caused by iron overload toxicity.
