  • Title: Homozygous G gamma delta beta thalassaemia.
    Author: Matthews JH, Rowlands D, Wood JK, Wood WG.
    Journal: Clin Lab Haematol; 1981; 3(2):121-7. PubMed ID: 6166424.
    Abstract:
    This report describes the clinical and haematological findings in three siblings homozygous for G gamma delta beta thalassaemia in an Indian family. There was a mild to moderate anaemia and markedly abnormal red cell morphology. Haemoglobin analysis showed 100% Hb F, solely of the G gamma type, with a pancellular but uneven distribution. Considerable chain imbalance was detectable in globin synthesis studies. In contrast to five previously reported cases, these children were essentially asymptomatic and have never required transfusions.
