Abstract excerpt
The high heterogeneity in regional profiles of β-thalassemia (β-thal) mutations highlights the need for population-specific carrier detection strategies. Our aim was to analyze the relationship between hematological values and β(0) and β(+) mutations in 154 Balearic β-thal heterozygotes, in order to establish the most optimized mutation carrier detection strategy to be used to manage the disease in our...
