Abstract excerpt
Thalassemia is the most common inherited hemoglobinopathy worldwide. Variation of clinical symptoms in this hemoglobinopathy entails differences in disease-onset and transfusion requirements. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of α-globin gene deletions in modulating the clinical heterogeneity of β-thalassemia (β-thal) syndromes. A total number 270 β-thal subjects were enrolled. Hematological...
