Beta Thalassemia

Just a general night time pondering, but I was sent this link from a friend.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7321655/

Now it is quite an interesting read, and wondering if any of you fabbers have this trait, or even if you know someone, and know if there is much research being further done, as I can't find much more on the subject. (I haven't tried very hard)

First report of COVID-19 reinfection in a patient with beta thalassemia major

Thalassemia trait and full blown thalassemia are rare in white British populations but more common in people of Mediterranean, Middle Eastern or North African descent.

I will definitely have a look into this, thanks.

But I was asking about thalassemia minor (beta) which I have, this is why I am fairly interested.

The only difference between major and minor is in the former, people have two "faulty" copies of the gene and have full blown symptoms whereas the latter, you have one copy of the "faulty" gene and so either have fewer or no symptoms. Another term is being a carrier or thalassemia trait.

The author Edouard Lansiaux has done a lot of "there might be correlation between X and Covid" but never any proper studies. So far, he's looked at correlation between smoking behaviour, Vitamin D status and beta thalassemia trait. Every single one of his "articles" end the same way:

"This paper is only for academic discussion, the hypotheses and conclusions needs to be confirmed by further research."

In a reply the editors of the journal that published his "report" on vitamin D correlation, the following statement was made "The manuscript "Covid-19 And Vit-D: Disease Mortality Negatively Correlates with Sunlight Exposure" held our attention as we found fatal shortcomings that invalidates the analyses and conclusions."

The "sample" from Italy was vanishingly small too and not particularly scientifically valid. I don't think there's any robust data on it at all.

Sadly this is pandemic has seen some appalling "papers" or articles reported on or even published that would normally never see the light of day.

Well I have no symptoms and generally pretty healthy.

Thanks for all this information, and you have confirmed my suspicions that no proper studies have been done. I totally get what you are saying in regards to many papers being published that normally wouldn't at all. Also, I haven't read any of his other publications or studies.

But thanks again, your very informative
