ABSTRACT : Bone disorders and disturbed calcium (Ca) homeostasis are common disorders in b-thalassaemia major (b-TM). In the present study, two bone related markers are studied in b-TM patients with negative C-reactive protein for the first time; fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2) and CAPS protein. Another goal is to estimate the correlation between the … Continue reading Effect of serum fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 and CAPS proteins on calcium status in βthalassaemia major patients who are free from overt inflammation
