Thalassemia and Pharmaceutical Research

The diversity of clinical phenotypes in alpha-thalassemia includes a range of symptoms, from mild to severe, and frequent complications.

The morbidity burden associated with non-transfusion-dependent beta-thalassemia includes variations in hemoglobin level and increased risk of complications.

Untreated anemia in non-transfusion-dependent beta-thalassemia can lead to increased morbidity and mortality, and it is essential to sound the alarm for timely intervention.
