Abstract

Background: Beta-thalassemia is one of the most common autosomal recessive disorders in the world population caused by more than 200 different mutations in the beta-globin chain. It is clinically classified as minor, intermediate and major. Beta-thalassemia is the most common monogenic disease in the Mediterranean countries, Middle East, Indian Subcontinent, and Southeast Asia and one of the widespread hereditary disorders in Iran. Among different
