Thirteen phosphorus balances were performed in four thalassemic children aged 6 to 10 years. No correlation was found between phosphorus intake and serum level or between phosphorus intake and net absorption. There was a positive correlation among daily phosphorus intake, net absorption, and 24-hour urinary excretion.

The shortcut strategy for beta thalassemia prevention
We propose antenatal blood tests using high-resolution DNA melting (HRM) analysis for beta thalassemia mutation detection after hemoglobin A2 estimation as a modified strategy for the identification of beta thalassemia at-risk couples.
