Overview
Historical Perspective
Our knowledge about the origins of thalassemia date back to more than 5000 years ago.
- In 4000 B.C., persons of eastern Mediterranean descent migrated to Sicily, carrying thalassemia gene variants with them.[1]
- In the 800s-900s A.C, there was mass migration of Arabs.
- In the 1400s-1500s, there was further influx of beta-thalassemia mutations with the expansion of the Ottoman Empire.[1] The Ottoman Expire expanded Eastern Europe, Central Asia, and Northern Africa.
- In 1952, Silvestroni and colleagues note that beta-thalassemia trait was highly prevalent in the Po River's delta region.[1]
