Splenectomy and thrombosis: the case of thalassemia intermedia.

TL;DR: Mannucci et al. as discussed by the authors studied the clinical and laboratory characteristics of patients who eventually develop overt thromboembolic events (TEE) are poorly studied, and found that splenectomized patients who will develop TEE may be identified early on by high NRBC and platelet counts, evidence of pulmonary hypertension (PHT), and transfusion naivety.

SMCHD1 mutations associated with a rare muscular dystrophy can also cause isolated arhinia and Bosma arhinia microphthalmia syndrome

TL;DR: In this article, the authors found that SMCHD1 mutations cause facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy type 2 (FSHD2) via a trans-acting loss-of-function epigenetic mechanism.

SMCHD1 mutations associated with a rare muscular dystrophy can also cause isolated arhinia and Bosma arhinia microphthalmia syndrome (vol 49, pg 238, 2017)

TL;DR: Mutations in SMCHD1 contribute to distinct phenotypic spectra, from craniofacial malformation and reproductive disorders to muscular dystrophy, which are speculated to be consistent with oligogenic mechanisms resulting in pleiotropic outcomes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Absence of cardiac siderosis despite hepatic iron overload in Italian patients with thalassemia intermedia: an MRI T2* study

TL;DR: Patients with TI show absence of cardiac iron overload even if hepatic iron accumulation is significant, and there was no statistically significant correlation between cardiac T2* values and liver iron concentration, serum ferritin, or any patient, disease, or treatment-related parameters.
Journal ArticleDOI

Levels of growth differentiation factor-15 are high and correlate with clinical severity in transfusion-independent patients with β thalassemia intermedia.

TL;DR: GDF-15 levels were significantly higher in splenectomized compared to non-splenECTomized patients and correlated with anemia, markers of iron overload, and a pre-defined clinical severity score.
