Abstract: ?-Thalassemia major is a common type of hereditary hemolytic anemia. It is usually associated with a normal serum lipid profile. But there have been few reports in literature that ?-Thalassemia can have an association with hypertriglyceridemia. We report a case of ?-thalassemia major associated with idiopathic hypertriglyceridemia, in a 6-month-old male child.

Keywords: hypertriglyceridemia, thalassemia major, hypertriglyceridemia-thalassemia syndrome
