Application of Cell‐Free DNA Barcode‐Enabled Single‐Molecule Test for Non‐Invasive Prenatal Testing of α‐Thalassemia and β‐Thalassemia

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
We evaluated the cfBEST assay for non‐invasive prenatal testing of α‐ and β‐thalassemia in 72 families. The assay correctly identified 88 of 93 fetal alleles, achieving an overall accuracy of 94.6%, a sensitivity of 94%, and a specificity of 95.35%, with 100% concordance with postnatal follow‐up.

Cerebral Blood Transit in Sickle Cell Anemia

Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Sickle cell anemia (SCA) patients upregulate cerebral blood flow to compensate for decreased arterial oxygen content. Such hyperemic conditions can manifest as venous hyperintense signal on arterial spin labeling (ASL) MRI, which may reflect faster capillary blood transit, altered oxygen extraction fraction (OEF), and infarct risk ...

Underestimation of the coexistence of iron deficiencies and thalassemia minors: a single institution experience in Taiwan

Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, 2014
Some physicians neglect the possible coexistence of an iron deficiency with a thalassemia minor and do not treat the iron deficiency accordingly. This motivated us to conduct this study.
