The Liaquat University of Medical & Health Sciences Jamshoro (LUMHS) is organising a seminar on "Genotype of Thalassemia patients as predictor for prognosis & management without blood transfusion," on Friday (today). Thalassemia is the most common inherited single gene disorder in the world. Scientists and public health officials predict that Thalassemia will become a world-wide issue in the next century.
With global improvements in childhood disease prevention and treatment, more focus will be given to diagnosing disorders. The VC LUMHS Mashoor Alam Shah, Tahir Shamsi & Saqib Ansari will share their views.
