N2  - Background:The thalassemia syndromes represent the most common causes of ineffective erythropoiesis . The increased but ineffective erythropoiesis resulting in tissue iron overload induces numerous endocrine diseases, hepatic cirrhosis, cardiac failure and even death . Objectives: To study GDF15 levels in Ý- thalassemia major patients and to correlate its level to their iron status and different clinical and  laboratory disease parameters. Conclusion:GDF15 level in our study represent a first step for its use as biomarker in thalassemia patients although future studies may be needed before its routine use
