The number of hematopoietic stem cell transplantations (HCTs) is increasing annually worldwide, and the Asia-Pacific (AP) region is no exception. We report on the absolute number of HCTs in 2018 and 2019 and the trends in graft selection and disease indication in the past few decades. In 2018, 24,292 HCTs were performed in the AP region, of which 8,754 (36.

Background: Glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) and pyruvate kinase (PKLR) deficiencies are common causes of erythrocyte haemolysis in the presence of antimalarial drugs such as primaquine and tafenoquine. The present study aimed to elucidate such an association by thoroughly investigating the haematological indices in malaria patients with G6PD and PKLR variants.
Methods: Blood samples from 255 malaria patients from Thailand, Myanmar, Laos, and Cambodia were collected to determine haematological profile, G6PD enzyme activity and G6PD deficiency variants.

β-Thalassemia (β-thal) is highly prevalent in Myanmar, but limited data are available on the molecular basis and the clinical manifestations in Myanmar patients. In this study, we investigated the clinical features and β-globin gene abnormalities in 15 homozygous β-thal and 60 Hb E (: c.79G>A)/β-thal pediatric patients who attended Yangon Children Hospital, the biggest thalassemia day care unit center in Myanmar.
