Molecular Spectrum of Beta-Globin Mutations in Transfusion-Dependent Patients with Thalassemia in Qazvin Province, Iran
Background: Beta thalassemia is a common inherited disease, resulting from one or more of 200 different mutations in the beta-globin gene. Qazvin province has attracted migrations of several different populations due to industrialization during the past five decades. The aim of this study was to define the molecular spectrum of beta-thalassemia mutations in Qazvin province. Methods: Ethylen dia...
متن کاملTransfusion independence and survival in patients with acute myeloid leukemia treated with 5-azacytidine.
Reanalysis of the CALGB and AZA001 studies in advanced myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) suggests that 5-azacytidine (AZA) is effective for acute myeloblastic leukemia (AML) with less than 30% bone marrow blasts. Most AML patients are elderly (>65 years old) and unfit for intensive chemotherapy and allogeneic transplantation; prognosis is extremely poor with median survival of a few months. For th...
متن کاملPrevalence of Diabetes Mellitus in Patients with Transfusion Dependent β Thalassemia
Introduction: Thalassemia is common in Iran. Appropriate therapy for this disease includes a regular blood transfusion and chelation therapy. However, patients will inevitably confront with side effects, particularly iron overloads in critical organ including heart, ductless glands and liver. This study tries to determine the prevalence of diabetes mellitus in transfusion dependent β thalassemi...
متن کاملZinc Status and its Correlation with Basic Parameters in Transfusion Dependent Thalassemic Patients: A Pakistani Perspective
Background: β-thalassemia is an autosomal hemoglobinopathy with inconsistent universal distribution. Among patients with thalassemia diverse non-siderotic complications distinctly influence the attribute of life, including zinc deficiency due to varied etiologies. The objective of the present study was to determine zinc levels in patients with β-thalassemia major and its correlation with mat...
متن کاملAssessment of Pancreatic Iron Overload in Transfusion Dependent Thalassemic Patients
Advances in the management of transfusion dependent thalassemic patients have improved the survival of these patients. The most important consequence of repeated and frequent transfusions is iron accumulation in vital organs. The magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a non-invasive and valid technique for the estimation of iron stores. Despite multiple studies about cardiac and liver MRI T2*, the...
