Effect of serum fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 and CAPS proteins on calcium status in β-thalassaemia major patients who are free from overt inflammation.

In conclusion, FGFR2 and CAPS associated with Ca status and subsequent bone disturbances in β-TM patients. Their level can be predicted from the equation: CAPS =0.001ALP +0.48FGFR2-1.26Ca - 3.95Pi +12.76 with acceptable applicability.
