Molecular Genetics of Thalassemia

  • Description : Thalassemia has been the subject of more clinical, genetic, and molecular studies than any other genetic disease; however, despite this long-standing effort, the available therapeutic strategies for managing the clinical complications of the disease are still very burdensome and costly, and a definitive cure for thalassemia has not been found. Increasing the expression of fetal hemoglobin can significantly improve the clinical manifestations of beta-thalassemia and sickle cell anemia.
