Assessment of cardiac iron deposition and genotypic classification in pediatric beta-thalassemia major: the role of cardiac MRI

Abstract Background Beta thalassemia major (β-TM) is a severe genetic anemia with considerable phenotypic heterogeneity. This study investigated whether genotype correlates with distinct myocardial iron overload patterns, assessed by cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) T2* values. Methods CMR da...
