Association of HBB gene variants with cardiometabolic and renal phenotypes in a Taiwanese genomic cohort: a cross-sectional study

Heterozygous mutations in the β-globin gene (HBB) define beta-thalassemia carriers (BTC), a state traditionally regarded as clinically silent. However, the systemic consequences of HBB variant carriage on metabolic and renal phenotypes remain incompletely characterized, particula...
