Research Priorities for Thalassemia
Andy Battaglia:
I would like to remind all members to vote in this poll. Many doctors and researchers visit our site. Let them know what you think are the top priorities in thalassemia research.

I am not very sure, but since hemoglobin is blood related, I believe that stem cell research could be a very promising study that will help all Thalassemia patients.

I agree that there are many options, gene therapy on the surface would appear to offer the best possibilities for all types of thals, ( I don't meand to trivialize this) but in my heart I believe that in the end the answer is going to be so simple we will all wonder why we suffered so much for so long. Something like a shot of anti-malaria vaccine or some other vaccine created for some other purpose. Its now being established and more widely accepted that the cure for autism is actually PREVENTION, simply not giving vaccines to very young children. Sometimes the answer is so simiple its unbelievable.
cherieann:
That was hard to vote.
All are a priority to us in one form or another.
Quality of life would sum up what we want... don't you think?
