Patient‐Reported Outcomes With Luspatercept Through 5 Years of Treatment in Patients With Non‐Transfusion‐Dependent β‐Thalassemia Treated in the BEYOND Trial

European Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In the phase 2, double‐blind, randomized controlled BEYOND trial (NCT03342404), luspatercept increased hemoglobin levels in patients with non‐transfusion‐dependent β‐thalassemia (NTDT). This study assessed long‐term effects of luspatercept on patient‐reported outcomes (PROs), using data from BEYOND and patients who continued luspatercept ...

Enlarging the gene-geography of Europe and the Mediterranean area to STR loci of common forensic use: longitudinal and latitudinal frequency gradients

Annals of Human Biology, 2018
Background: Tetranucleotide Short Tandem Repeats (STRs) for human identification and common use in forensic cases have recently been used to address the population genetics of the North-Eastern Mediterranean area.

Quantitative analysis of DNA‐GATA1 binding alterations linked to hematopoietic disorders

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Native holdup allows the quantitative determination of affinities between full‐length transcription factors and DNA. Mutations in either the protein or the DNA can modulate binding strength, which can be precisely quantified using this approach. Applied to GATA1, it revealed mutations that alter DNA binding.

Prevalence of hemoglobinopathies in school children: the importance of using confirmatory methods

Brazilian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2015
The hemoglobinopathies are included among the most common genetic diseases in the world. In Brazil, hemoglobinopathies are related to the diversity of racial backgrounds and the degree of interbreeding.

Common Hematologic Emergencies—Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia and Microangiopathic Hemolytic Anemias—A Pivotal Role of Clinical Laboratory

International Journal of Laboratory Hematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hematologic emergencies are urgent health conditions which result in significant mortality and morbidity unless timely therapeutic measures are taken. Therapeutic success depends on their timely and accurate recognition by hematology laboratory services.

The association between inflammatory markers in routine blood counts at 1 year and attention‐deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD): A case–control study

Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, EarlyView.
Background Attention‐deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a chronic neurodevelopmental disorder marked by persistent patterns of inattention, disorganization, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. Increasing evidence implicates immune‐inflammatory processes in its etiology, with observed associations between ADHD and infectious diseases, allergic ...

alpha-thalassemia, HbS, and beta-globin gene cluster haplotypes in two Afro-Uruguayan sub-populations from northern and southern Uruguay

Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2006
Hemoglobinopathies are the most common monogenic disorders worldwide; however, they have never been systematically studied from a genetic perspective in Uruguay. In this study, we determined the frequencies of hemoglobin variants in Afro-Uruguayans.

Characterisation of RHD and RHCE variations in blood donors from Jazan Province, Southwestern Saudi Arabia

Transfusion Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Objectives Rh is among the most important and highly polymorphic blood group systems due to the proximity of the RHD and RHCE genes, which encode numerous highly immunogenic antigens. However, in areas of Saudi Arabia with a high prevalence of hemoglobinopathy, the molecular characteristics of RHD and RHCE variations are lacking.

Therapeutic Relevance of Inducing Autophagy in β-Thalassemia

Cells
The β-thalassemias are inherited genetic disorders affecting the hematopoietic system. In β-thalassemias, more than 350 mutations of the adult β-globin gene cause the low or absent production of adult hemoglobin (HbA).
