  Sickle/beta-thalassemia is the most common sickle syndrome seen in people of Mediterranean descent (Italian, Greek, Turkish). Beta-thalassemia is quite common in this region, and the sickle cell gene occurs in some sections of these countries. [sickle.bwh.harvard.edu]

  In Sri Lanka, it can reach up to 40% and affects those of Sinhalese and Vedda descent. [9] [10] It is also found at high frequencies in Bangladesh and Indonesia. [11] [12] The trait can also appear in people of Turkish, Chinese and Filipino descent. [ [en.wikipedia.org]

Prognosis for individuals with beta-thalassemia has improved substantially in the last 20 years following recent medical advances in transfusion, iron chelation and bone marrow transplantation therapy. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prognosis The prognosis depends on the severity of the disease and adherence to treatment: α thalassaemia The prognosis is excellent for asymptomatic carriers. The overall survival for HbH disease is good overall but variable. [patient.info]

Prognosis For silent carriers and individuals with alpha thalassemia trait, the prognosis is excellent. For individuals with HbH disease, the overall survival rate varies but is generally good, with most patients surviving into adulthood. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Prognosis Prognosis of thalassemia minor subjects is excellent. An increased risk for cholelithiasis, especially in association with the Gilbert mutation has been demonstrated [ 92 ]. [ojrd.biomedcentral.com]

Prognosis As discussed above, the prognosis for individuals with the most serious types of thalassemia has improved drastically in the last several years following recent medical advances in transfusion, chemo-, and transplantation therapy. [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]
