Diamond–Blackfan anemia associated with β-thalassemia trait [PDF]

American Journal of Hematology, 2006
A 14-month-old boy was referred to our hospital for evaluation of severe anemia. In the bone marrow aspiration smear, normal cellularity with severe erythroblastopenia (3%) was observed. The hemoglobin electrophoresis of the patient and his father were compatible with the beta-thalassemia trait.

Effect of alpha-gene numbers on the expression of beta-thalassemia intermedia, beta-thalassemia and (delta beta)0-thalassemia traits.

Human heredity, 1998
The effects of variations in alpha-gene numbers on phenotypical expression of beta-thalassemia are assessed in 11 subjects of 8 families. The study indicates that coexistence of alpha-thalassemia (-alpha3.7/alpha alpha) decreases the HbF in IVSI-6 homozygote and in delta beta thalassemia trait and may ameliorate the disease in beta-thalassemia compound

Valores de ferritina sérica em beta talassemia heterozigota Serum ferritin levels in beta thalassemia carrier [PDF]

Revista Brasileira de Hematologia e Hemoterapia, 2010
A low iron level, the commonest nutritional deficiency in the world, is a public health problem in developing countries. On the other hand, an excessive amount of iron is toxic, causing several organic dysfunctions, such as diabetes, cirrhosis ...

Porphyria cutanea tarda in Beta-Thalassemia Trait Carriers

Dermatologica, 2009
The authors report 5 cases of porphyria cutanea tarda (PCT) occurring in carriers of the beta-thalassemia trait. This hematologic condition may be responsible for the development of liver damage resulting in siderosis, higher susceptibility to hepatitis B virus infection, and the earlier appearance of clinical features of PCT. Consequently, the authors

Hemoglobin Interlaken in combination with beta thalassemia trait

Thalassemia Reports, 2013
We report a rare a1 globin gene variant (Hb Interlaken) found in a 63-year-old woman of Italian ancestry living in Buenos Aires Province, Argentina. The variant, a missense mutation at cd15 (GGT → GAT) causing a Gly →Asp amino acid substitution

Double heterozygocity for hemoglobin C and beta thalassemia dominant: A rare case of thalassemia intermedia

Hematology Reports, 2018
Beta thalassemia dominant results from mutations in the β globin chain gene resulting in the production of elongated, highly unstable beta globin chains.

Genetic Study for Identifying Beta Thalassemia Trait in Relatives of Children with Beta Thalassemia Major. [PDF]

Cureus
The most common inherited illness, thalassemia, is thought to have a detrimental effect on public health, particularly in endemic areas. Children with beta thalassemia disease have several mutations. Prevention and premarital examination are still the most effective measures to lessen the burden of beta thalassemia.This study primarily aimed to ...

A Search for Beta Thalassemia Trait in India

Turkish Journal of Hematology, 2012
To the Editor, The beta-thalassemia trait (BTT)—or beta-thalassemia minor—is a heterozygous condition in which only a single beta-globin gene is affected. The estimated prevalence of BTT in different regions of India is reported to vary between 2.7% and 14.9% (mean: 4.5%) [1,2].
