- A case study of a 30-year-old pregnant woman revealed she was a carrier of a beta-thalassemia trait, showing specific genetic mutations, while her husband had a different thalassemia mutation, highlighting the complexity of thalassemia genetics.
- The study emphasizes the need for comprehensive molecular diagnostics in addition to biochemical tests to accurately identify genetic causes of thalassemic traits.
