Abstract excerpt
Deferasirox is a widely used oral iron chelator in patients with transfusion-dependent thalassemia, but considerable variability in treatment response remains a clinical challenge. This study applied whole-genome sequencing to investigate genetic predictors of deferasirox response in 88 Thai patients. This approach enabled comprehensive detection of both known and novel variants across eight key genes involved in...
