Genetic heterogeneity of beta thalassemia in Lebanon reflects historic and recent population migration
Beta thalassemia is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by reduced (β+) or absent (β0) beta‐globin chain synthesis. In Lebanon it is the most predominant genetic defect. In this study we investigated the religious and geographic distribution of the β‐thalassemia mutations identified in Leb...
