Abstract excerpt
Gastrointestinal symptoms frequently accompany anemia caused by HBB mutations, such as β-thalassemia; however, the mechanisms linking disordered hemoglobin biology to intestinal dysfunction remain incompletely understood. In this study, HBB-mutant cynomolgus monkeys were generated and analyzed together with wild-type (WT) controls through integrated metabolomic and metagenomic profiling. HBB mutation was...
