PGIMS Rohtak, IndiaTitle: Recent advances in management of thalassemia
Abstract
Thalassemia mainly β-thalassemia is a clinically heterogenous group of inherited disorders caused by mutations in the β-globin gene, leading to a decreased or absent production of the β-globin chain. In this disease there is imbalance in the α/β-globin chain production, which results in variable grades of ineffective erythropoiesis, chronic haemolytic anaemia, compensatory haemopoietic expansion, hypercoagulability, and increased iron absorption. Approximately 1.5% of the global population are carriers for a β-thalassaemia mutation, with traditionally higher prevalence in populations of Middle East, the Mediterranean region, and Southeast Asia. However, large scale migrations have recently made thalassemia distribution worldwide. Improved public health measures have prolonged life expectancy of affected individuals in low- and middle-income countries, making β-thalassemia now a significant global health problem.
