Abstract

Key Points: Expanded erythropoiesis strongly drives hepcidin suppression in severe transfusion-dependent HbE β-thalassemia. β-thalassemia carriers, but not HbE carriers, have enhanced erythropoiesis associated with mildly suppressed hepcidin.

  • In untransfused patients with β-thalassaemia, blood hepcidin levels are very low despite high iron concentrations and iron deposition, due to suppression by mediators from expanded erythroblasts.

    “Despite high concentrations of iron and deposition of iron in the liver and other vital organs, the blood level of hepcidin in untransfused patients with β-thalassaemia is very low38–40, owing to suppression by mediators originating from the expanded erythroblast population in the bone marrow12,41.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
