Transfusion-Dependent Thalassemia in Northern Sarawak: A Molecular Study to Identify Different Genotypes in the Multi-Ethnic Groups and the Importance of Genomic Sequencing in Unstudied Populations

Background: Although thalassemia is a genetic hemoglobinopathy in Malaysia, there is limited data on thalassemia mutations in the indigenous groups. This study aims to identify the types of globin gene mutations in transfusion-dependent patients in Northern Sarawak. Methods: Blood was collected...
