This study is the first contribution to the description of the molecular profile of β-thalassemia in the Eastern region of Morocco. It shows the high molecular heterogeneity of β-thalassemia in our country. Therefore, these results can be valuable for the implementation of carrier screening, genetic counseling, and prenatal diagnosis programs.
