Hydroxyurea therapy in β‐thalassaemia intermedia: improvement in haematological parameters due to enhanced β‐globin synthesis
1 Jul 1995
Abstract excerpt
The beta-thalassaemias represent a heterogenous group of diseases resulting from decreased erythroid beta-globin mRNA expression and imbalanced alpha/beta-globin chain synthesis which are manifest clinically by ineffective erythropoiesis and excessive haemolysis. Increasing levels of haemoglobin F (HbF) by pharmacological agents has been proposed to ameliorate the severity of the disease by improving the balance...
