The Effect of Resveratrol on Gamma Globin Gene Expression in Patients with Beta Thalassemia: The Role of Adaptation to Cellular Stress

Thalassemia Reports
HbF induction is an appropriate strategy to ameliorate the severity of β-thalassemia symptoms. Hydroxyurea (HU) is the most common chemical agent introduced as an HbF inducer but responsiveness to HU is variable and the introduction of HbF inducers ...

The role of red blood cell characteristics and viscosity in sickle cell retinopathy and maculopathy

British Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.
Sickle cell retinopathy and maculopathy are common ocular complications of sickle cell disease. This study assessed the contribution of red blood cell characteristics and blood viscosity to their development. HbSC patients with proliferative retinopathy showed a lower delta elongation index and point of sickling, while no link was found between whole ...

Fast-track strategy for the prevention of Hb Bart’s hydrops fetalis syndrome

Thalassemia Reports, 2017
We propose a fast-track strategy [direct blood DNA analysis using a quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique] for the early risk detection and prenatal diagnosis of α(0)-thalassemia (SEA and Thai deletion).

Acute splenomegaly, haemolysis, and thrombocytopenia following luspatercept initiation in a patient with transfusion‐dependent thalassaemia: A case report

British Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.
Summary Patients with transfusion‐dependent thalassaemia (TDT) require chronic, life‐sustaining red blood cell transfusions, which contribute to iron overload and associated morbidity and mortality. Luspatercept, an inhibitor of the transforming growth factor‐beta pathway, decreases transfusion requirements in a subset of transfusion‐dependent β ...

Hemoglobin Subunit-Subunit Affinity-Determinant of Hemoglobin Formation [PDF]

, 1989
Hemoglobin A₂ is often elevated in β-thalassemia and decreased in α-thalassemia. This might be due to hemoglobin subunit-subunit affinity variation. It has been inferred from the study of abnormal hemoglobins that the a subunits have higher affinity for ...
