Abstract:
The paper reviews the literature on oral modifications presented by subjects affected by beta-thalassemia, an hereditary hemopathy present in significant numbers in some areas of Italy. Following a description of the clinical characteristics of the disease, the paper focuses on the genetic alterations leading to the hemopathy and their implication in the onset of the thalassemic state.
