Thalassemia and hemochromatosis are two distinct conditions that involve dysregulation of iron metabolism, though their origin, clinical presentations, and treatments differ. This case represents a patient with incidentally discovered microcytic anemia due to β-thalassemia trait and non- hemochromatosis. It discusses the potential synergistic effect of these two diseases on iron overload and highlights the need for further testing to determine hereditary versus secondary causes of hemochromatosis.

Background: Allogeneic transplant for patients with transfusion-dependent thalassemia is challenging once there has been iron overload and chronic transfusion support.

Objective(s): A transplant strategy that reduced intensity of the preparative regimen and tailored immunosuppression to both support donor engraftment and prevent GVHD was developed for this population. The combination of a pretransplant immunosuppression phase with reduced dosing of fludarabine/prednisone, treosulfan-based preparative regimen with reduced cyclophosphamide dosing, and introduction of a calcineurin/methotrexate-free GVHD prophylaxis/engraftment supporting regimen with abatacept/sirolimus/ATG was tested.

Background: Iron overload disorders, including hereditary hemochromatosis (HH), are characterized by excessive iron accumulation, which can cause severe organ damage. HH is most associated with the C282Y mutation in Caucasian populations, but its prevalence and genetic profiles in Latin American populations remain underexplored.

Objectives: To describe the clinical manifestations, genetic profiles, and biochemical characteristics of patients with suspected iron overload disorders in a specialized hematology center in Cali, Colombia.

Aims: Nicotine-exacerbated atherosclerosis significantly increases global mortality. Endothelial cells, which line the interior of blood vessels, are crucial for maintaining vascular function. How nicotine is involved in vascular remodeling in atherosclerosis via modulating endothelial dysfunction remains unknown.

Objective: Hereditary hemochromatosis (HH) is a common genetic disorder characterized by iron overload, which, if undiagnosed, can lead to severe organ damage. There are four types of HH. Type 1 HH, the most common form, is primarily caused by a common variant in Western Europe (p.
