The presence of HbS was reported in Turkey for the first time in the late fifties by Aksoy et al.
This was followed by other reports by the same author revealing the presence of several …

Background This study aimed to characterize the molecular basis of a β-thalassaemia
heterozygote who had a normal haemoglobin A2 level. Methods Using haematological and …

The aim of this study was to detect alpha-thalassemia in beta-thalassemia carriers during
prenatal screening. During a 12-year prenatal screening program, a total of 158 couples …

We characterized mutations and haplotypes of the δ‐globin gene (HBD, MIM# 142000) in
two regions of southern Italy. Mutations were discovered by screening for individuals with Hb …

It is being increasingly recognized that a majority of the countries in the thalassemia-belt
need a cost-effective screening program as the first step towards control of thalassemia …

Background and aims: β-thalassemia is one of the most frequent hemoglobinopathies and
single gene disorders in Iran. About 13 β globin mutations encompass 70–90% of mutations …

β-Thalassemias and abnormal hemoglobin variants are among the most common hereditary
abnormalities in humans. Molecular characterization of the causative genetic variants is an …

Background Beta thalassemia (β-thal) is an inherited hemoglobin disorder characterized by
reduced synthesis of the hemoglobin that results in microcytic hypochromic anemia. β …

Beta-thalassemia is the most common disease among hemoglobinopathies in Antalya,
Turkey, as well as world-wide. Mutations found in Turkish beta-thalassemia patients …

Hemoglobinopathies are the most common single-gene disorders, and β-thalassemia (β-
thal) imposes a tremendous health burden on Turkey. Thus, premarital carrier screening is …
