Differentiating β‐Thalassaemia From Iron Deficiency: Performance and Cut‐Off Dependency of More Than 40 Red Cell Discrimination Indices in a Large German Cohort

International Journal of Laboratory Hematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Since the 1970s, more than 40 red blood cell–based formulas have been proposed to differentiate β‐thalassaemia trait (BTT) from iron deficiency (ID) and iron deficiency anaemia (IDA), the main causes of microcytic anaemia. In Germany, where haemoglobinopathies are rare in the autochthonous population but increasingly encountered due

Toileting Problems and Associated Factors in Adults Enrolled in the Global Angelman Syndrome Registry

Journal of Intellectual Disability Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Angelman Syndrome (AS) is a rare neurodevelopmental disorder caused by the lack of expression of the UBE3A gene, which can result from abnormalities of the maternally inherited chromosome 15q11‐q13. The purpose of this study is to investigate the most common types of toileting problems in adults with AS and the associated factors of
