Alpha thalassaemia is associated with increased soluble transferrin receptor levels.

British journal of haematology - 1 Nov 1998

Rees D C, Williams T N, Maitland K, Clegg J B, Weatherall D J

Abstract excerpt

Although alpha+ thalassaemia is the commonest haemoglobinopathy in the world, it is not known if it is associated with significant ineffective erythropoiesis, a fact of importance in interpreting its complex interaction with malaria. To study this problem, we have measured the concentrations of soluble transferrin receptor (sTIR) and ferritin in 181 children from Vanuatu with heterozygous (68) and homozygous (46)...
