Beta thalassemia (β-thalassemia) is a type of inherited blood disorder characterized by the impaired production of beta globin chains. β-Thalassemia can be categorized into three subtypes according to symptom severity: β-thalassemia minor, β-thalassemia intermedia, and β-thalassemia major. Adipose tissue functions as an endocrine gland by synthesizing and secreting an array of bioactive peptides including leptin, adiponectin, and resistin.
