Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: In homozygous β-thalassemia, the primary genetic modifiers affecting the clinical severity of β-thalassemia are genetic variants and the ability to reduce globin chain imbalance, thus resulting in a milder form of thalassemia. However, there are few reports on the molecular genetics of β-thalassemia in Iraq. METHODS: We performed PCR and DNA sequencing on 40 Iraqi patients who were clinically...
