DNA damage in children with β-thalassemia minor: genotoxicity assessment by comet assay
Background. In transfusion-dependent forms of β-thalassemia, chronic anemia and iron overload lead to the development of oxidative stress-related DNA damage. In β-thalassemia minor (β-Tm), oxidative stress resulting from an unbalanced globin chain ratio has been documented, even in the absence of a...
