About this work

Description

New edition of a text on thalassemias that summarizes the evidence suggesting that the clinical picture of this disorder may result from several different inherited defects of globin synthesis similar in type to the other inherited hemoglobinopathies. The 16 chapters reflect the vast amount of new information obtained about the genetic control of hemoglobin in general and the thalassaemias in particular, which are likely to pose an increasingly serious health problem in this century. Discussion includes historical background; biology, clinical features, and diagnosis and management of thalassaemia; and the future. Written and edited by D. J. Weatherall and J.B. Clegg (both of the molecular haematology unit, Institute of Molecular Medicine, U. of Oxford) with additional contributions by R. Gibbons, J.M. Old, Swee Lay Thein, and W.G. Wood (all associated with the U. of Oxford), and Nancy F. Oliveri (Hospital for Sick Children and the Toronto General Hospital). Annotation copyrighted by Book News Inc.
