Coexistence of β-Thalassemia and Hereditary Hemochromatosis in Homozygosity: A Possible Synergic Effect?

Coexistence of β-Thalassemia and Hereditary Hemochromatosis in Homozygosity: A Possible Synergic Effect?

A few considerations, which we found in the literature, inspired us to reevaluate patients previously investigated [characterized for β-thalassemia (β-thal) and hereditary hemochromatosis (HH) genes] by our department at Medical Genetics, School of Medicine, University of Foggia, Italy.
