Leukocyte Telomere Length in Patients with Transfusion-Dependent Thalassemia

2020-06-01

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p><bold>Background:</bold> Thalassemia is a hereditary hemolytic anemia with a severity ranging from mild, non-transfusion dependent to severe chronic anemia requiring lifelong transfusion. Transfusional iron overload is a major complication in patients with transfusion-dependent thalassemia (TDT). Telomeres are sequences of nucleotides forming the end caps of chromosomes that act as a DN...
