Genetic Modifiers of Hemoglobin Expression from a Clinical Perspective in Hemoglobinopathy Patients with Beta Thalassemia and Sickle Cell Disease
5 Nov 2024
Abstract excerpt
Hemoglobinopathies, namely β-thalassemia and sickle cell disease (SCD), are hereditary diseases, characterized by molecular genetic aberrations in the beta chains of hemoglobin. These defects affect the normal production of hemoglobin with severe anemia due to less or no amount of beta globins in patients with β-thalassemia (quantitative disorder), while SCD is a serious disease in which a mutated form of...
