Sabah has the highest prevalence of β-thalassemia in Malaysia, with the Filipino β-deletion as the predominant mutation. Patients with the homozygous Filipino β-deletion exhibit phenotypic heterogeneity due to various genetic modifiers, yet the effects of these modifiers on the clinical phenotype remain poorly understood. This study investigated the effects of the coinheritance of α-thalassemia, I-γ rs7482144, rs766432, and 5'HS4 rs16912979 polymorphisms on the clinical phenotype of homozygous Filipino β-deletion patients in Sabah.

Introduction: β-thalassemia is a common genetic disease mainly caused by point mutations in the β-globin gene, eliciting a high prevalence in South China. The aim of the present study is to identify a rare HBB: c.316-90 A > G variant and provide the clinical and hematological features in two unrelated Chinese families.

Despite the well-documented mutation spectra of β-thalassemia, the genetic variants and haplotypes of globin gene clusters modulating its clinical heterogeneity remain incompletely illustrated. Here, a targeted long-read sequencing (T-LRS) is demonstrated to capture 20 genes/loci in 1,020 β-thalassemia patients. This panel permits not only identification of thalassemia mutations at 100% of sensitivity and specificity, but also detection of rare structural variants (SVs) and single nucleotide variants (SNVs) in modifier genes/loci.

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.
A novel conditioning regimen with pre-transplantation immunosuppression reduces the complication rates in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in transfusion-dependent β-thalassemia.

Background: Allo-HSCT is a curative therapy for patients with transfusion-dependent thalassemia (TDT). The high incidence of transplant-related complications is becoming an obstacle to safe and effective unrelated donor (URD) transplantation.
Methods: In this retrospective study, we reported the survival outcomes and complications of transplantation in thalassemia patients using a novel regimen consisting of pre-transplantation immunosuppression (PTIS) and modified myeloablative conditioning based on intravenous busulfan, cyclophosphamide, fludarabine, and rabbit anti-human thymocyte immunoglobulin.
