Beta-thalassemia intermedia associated with moyamoya syndrome.
Moyamoya syndrome (MMS) is a progressive disorder. We report a 19-year-old boy with beta-thalassemia who presented with a left hemiparesis. Brain MRI showed old middle cerebral artery and left frontal subcortical white matter infarcts. Brain magnetic resonance angiography and digital subtraction angiography revealed occlusion of the bilateral internal carotid arteries with a rich network of bas...
متن کاملThalassemia intermedia resulting from a mild beta-thalassemia mutation.
We investigated the molecular basis for a mild phenotype in a group of patients with beta(+) thalassemia originating from Northern Sardinia by definition of the beta-thalassemia mutation, alpha-globin mapping and beta-globin haplotype determination. In nine patients, we detected the compound heterozygous state for the -87 promoter mutation and the codon 39 nonsense mutation; in one patient, we ...
متن کاملMalignancies in patients with beta-thalassemia major and beta-thalassemia intermedia: a multicenter study in Iran.
BACKGROUND Beta thalassemia is one of the most common genetic disorders in the world. The aim of this study was to determine the frequency, characteristics, and pattern of malignancies in patients with beta thalassemia major (BTM) and beta thalassemia intermedia (BTI) in Iran. METHODS We conducted a multicenter study via a retrospective chart review of patients with BTM and BTI between 2002 a...
متن کاملThalassemia intermedia.
Thalassemia intermedia is a clinical definition applied to patients whose clinical phenotype is milder than that of thalassemia major. Criteria used to define thalassemia intermedia including age at presentation, hemoglobin or fetal hemoglobin levels and transfusion independence, are unsatisfactory. The possibility of typing the molecular defect allows a retrospective analysis of patients and o...
متن کاملDouble heterozygocity for hemoglobin C and beta thalassemia dominant: A rare case of thalassemia intermedia
Beta thalassemia dominant results from mutations in the β globin chain gene resulting in the production of elongated, highly unstable beta globin chains. Several such mutations have been described and in a heterozygous state they may confer a phenotype more severe than that of β thalassemia trait and lead to a clinical syndrome of thalassemia intermedia and its associated complications such as ...
