The value of genetic data from 665,460 individuals in managing iron deficiency anaemia and suitability to donate blood
28 Nov 2023
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Although the genetic determinants of haemoglobin and ferritin have been widely studied, those of the clinically and globally relevant iron deficiency anaemia (IDA) and deferral due to hypohaemoglobinemia (Hb-deferral) are unclear. In this investigation, we aimed to quantify the value of genetic information in predicting IDA and Hb-deferral. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We analysed genetic...
