Recent advances in β-thalassemias
β-thalassemias, a group of autosomal recessive disorders resulting from reduced or absent production of β-globin chains from the β-globin locus, are very heterogeneous at the molecular level (for review see Weatherall & Clegg, 2001 and Cao & Galanello).1-

Thalassemia syndromes are among the most serious and common genetic conditions. They are indigenous in a wide but specific geographical area. However, through migration they are spreading across regions not previously affected. Thalassemias are caused by

Thalassemias. From gene to therapy
Thalassemias (α, β, γ, δ, δβ, and εγδβ) are the most common genetic disorders worldwide and constitute a heterogeneous group of hereditary diseases characterized by the deficient synthesis of one or more hemoglobin (Hb) chain(s).

Thalassemia (Beta-Thalassemia)
Thalassemia is an inherited blood disorder characterized by less oxygen carrying protein (Haemoglobin) and fever red blood cells in the body than normal. There are mainly two types of thalassemia i.e. Alpha and Beta thalassemia about 1-5% of the global population 80-90 million people are the carrier of ß thalassemia which is major concern.
