Craniofacial shape in patients with beta thalassaemia: a geometric morphometric analysis

Abstract The shape of the craniofacial complex of patients with beta thalassaemia was evaluated using geometric morphometrics on lateral cephalometric radiographs and was compared with matched controls. The beta thalassaemia group consisted of 40 patients (16 females, 24 males, mean age 33.4). Each...
