Flashcard 623: When does β-thalassemia major (β0/β0) typically present?
_____
Answer: Months after birth
Extra: β-thalassemia major typically presents around 6 months of age. This delay occurs because fetal hemoglobin (HbF, α2γ2) does not contain β-globin chains and thus protects the infant until the switch to adult hemoglobin (HbA, α2β2) takes place.

_____
Answer: ST-segment elevation (transmural ischemia)
Extra:
