Summary
Delta-beta-thalassaemia is a rare genetic blood disorder. Homozygous Gγ(Aγδβ)0-thalassaemia presents as severe thalassaemia intermedia with 100% Hb-F, diagnosed via polymerase chain reaction.
Area of Science:
- Genetics
- Hematology
- Molecular Biology
Background:
- Delta-beta-thalassaemia (δβ-thalassaemia) is a rare inherited blood disorder.
- It typically results from the deletion of δ and β globin genes, preserving γ genes.
- δβ-thalassaemia is classified into (δβ)+ and (δβ)0 types, with (δβ)0 further divided into GγAγ(δβ)0 and Gγ(Aγδβ)0 subtypes.
