The genetic architecture of the β-globin chain in individuals with and without sickle cell disease in Nigeria: A case for beta thalassemia?

2024-12-24

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> <h4>Background</h4> Reports on beta thalassemia in the Nigerian population are conflicting, and the prevalence and role of beta thalassemia in Nigerian sickle cell disease (SCD) patients remain unclear. There is a need to set the records straight to ascertain the prevalence and effect of beta thalassemia in these patients. <h4>Methods</h4> 123 SCD patients and 117 age- and sex-matched controls...
