TL;DR: Oxidative damage to erythrocytes in thalassaemia has been related to generation of free radicals by an excess of denaturated α‐ or β‐globin chains, intracellular iron overload and low concentration of normal haemoglobin.

TL;DR: A marked prognostic value of the degree of absolute peripheral lymphocytosis emerged in the whole population as well as in low and intermediate risk groups of patients, pointing out that different subsets of patients can be isolated within these groups.

TL;DR: The molecular characteristics of G6PD in the patient differed from those of all previously reported variants associated with CNSHA, so the present variant was provisionally called G 6PD Barcelona to distinguish it from other G6 PD variants previously described.

TL;DR: These guidelines provide information on how to develop and manage a point‐of‐care (POCT) service so that reliable haematology results are produced regardless of where the test is performed.

TL;DR: The present study constitutes the first attempt to characterize the deficient G6PD variants found in Spain and supplies new data on the relationship between molecular characteristics of deficient variants and their clinical manifestations.
