Abstract :
β-thalassemia major is a hereditary anemia, characterized by a genetic deficiency in the synthesis of the β-globin chain (1). The main complication of the multiple blood transfusions to these patients is iron overload and the deposition of iron in various organs, such as the reticuloendothelial system, the liver, the heart and the endocrine glands (2).
