The α-Thalassemias [PDF]

open access: yesNew England Journal of Medicine, 2014
More than 100 varieties of α-thalassemia have been identified. Their geographic distribution and the challenges associated with screening, diagnosis, and management suggest that α-thalassemias should have a higher priority on global public health ...

Beta-Thalassemia [PDF]

open access: yesGenetics in Medicine, 2010
Beta-thalassemias are a group of hereditary blood disorders characterized by anomalies in the synthesis of the beta chains of hemoglobin resulting in variable phenotypes ranging from severe anemia to clinically asymptomatic individuals. The total annual incidence of symptomatic individuals is estimated at 1 in 100,000 throughout the world and 1 in 10 ...

Thalassemia in Indonesia

Hemoglobin, 2022
Indonesia is located along the 'Thalassemia Belt' and a hotspot for hemoglobinopathies. Around 3.0-10.0% of the population carry β-thalassemia (β-thal) and 2.6-11.0% of the population carry α-thalassemia (α-thal). It is estimated that around 2500 babies are born with β-thal major (β-TM) each year.

Thalassemias

Pediatric Clinics of North America, 2013
The thalassemia syndromes are hemoglobin disorders that result from significantly reduced or absent synthesis of either the α- or β-globin chains. The result is a chronic hemolytic anemia with ineffective erythropoiesis and bone marrow overstimulation.

Thalassemia in India

Hemoglobin, 2022
Management and control of hemoglobinopathies are a challenge in India where 67.0% of people reside in rural regions. The GDP spent on health is one of the lowest (1.3%) resulting in high out-of-pocket expenses. The β-thalassemias are prevalent with an estimated 7500-12000 new births each year. Hb S (HBB: c.20A>T) and Hb E (HBB: c.79G>A) are also common
