BETA - THALASSEMIA: A CONVENTIONAL APPROACH

Thalassemia syndrome is one of the most serious and common genetic conditions. In a large but unique geographical area, they are indigenous. Nevertheless, they disperse across areas that have not been affected before. Betathalassemia is caused by β globin genes mutations and is typically autosomal recessively inherited that contributes to beta-thalassemia results in imbalanced growth and erythropoiesis, consecutively. The seriousness of the disease depends in large part on the degree of chain imbalance. In the worst case, survival depends on normal blood transfusions, which result in transfusional iron and secondary iron-toxicity damage. Even in the case of milder syndromes, vigorous monitoring and treatment is required. The long lasting and high quality of life requirements are not recognized under measures such as the Global Burden of Disease project which ranks thalassemia in terms of years of life adjusting for people with disabilities (DALYs) very low and does not consider that it is high in the age group aged one to four years, thereby contributing significantly to mortality under the age of five. However, extreme cases of thalassemia are observed in most neonatal cell disease screening systems based on the screening technique. It is extremely useful because: (1) preparing the families affected for the illness of a baby is important and (2) secondary preventive measures.
