    Hemoglobin E-beta-thalassemia: Progress report from the international study group
    (Blackwell Publishing, 2005) Premawardhena, A.; de Silver, S.; Arambepola, M.; Olivieri, N.F.; Vichinsky, E.P.; Merson, L.; Muraco, G.; Allen, A.; Fisher, C.; Peto, T.; Weatherall, D.J.
    A long-term observational study of Hb E-beta-thalassemia in Sri Lanka is beginning to define some of the genetic and environmental factors that are responsible for its remarkable phenotypic variability. In this population there is a very small difference between the steady-state hemoglobin levels between the mild and severe phenotypes, and it has been possible to stop transfusion in many of those who have been on long-term treatment of this kind. These preliminary observations, made over the last 7 years, provide directions for future research into this increasingly important disease.
