Abstract excerpt

The Maldives is an archipelago of 407,660 people according to population census of 2014, made up of 20 atolls, which has one of the highest prevalence of β-thalassemia worldwide. However, there is a dearth of studies related to β-thalassemia in the Maldives; therefore, in this study, we aimed to investigate the genetic epidemiology of β-thalassemia in Maldives. Blood samples were collected from 110,504...
