Abstract
Dünyada en sık görülen genetik geçişli hastalıklardan biri olan beta talasemi, ülkemizde de önemli bir sağlık sorunu olmaya devam etmektedir. Ülkemizde beta talasemi taşıyıcılık oranı %2 civarındadır. Taşıyıcı olanların genellikle normal görünümde olmaları tarama programlarının gerekliliğini ortaya koymaktadır. Beta talaseminin sık görüldüğü yerlerden biri olan Muğla’da düzenli yapılan tarama programları sayesinde yeni hasta olguların sayısında da önemli derecede azalma olmuştur.

Abstract
As one of the most common genetically inherited diseases in the world, beta thalassemia continues to be a major health problem in our country, too. In our country, the carrier rate is around 2%. The carriers’ appearance is usually normal and this reveals the necessity of screening programs. In Mugla, which is one of the places where thalassemia is frequently seen, occured a significant reduction in the number of cases, through regularly conducted screening programs

The publication language of Turkish Journal of Pediatric Disease is English.
Manuscripts submitted to the Turkish Journal of Pediatric Disease will go through a double-blind peer-review process. Each submission will be reviewed by at least two external, independent peer reviewers who are experts in the field, in order to ensure an unbiased evaluation process. The editorial board will invite an external and independent editor to manage the evaluation processes of manuscripts submitted by editors or by the editorial board members of the journal. The Editor in Chief is the final authority in the decision-making process for all submissions.

If the articles sent to the reviewers for evaluation are assessed as a senior for publication by the reviewers, the section editor and the editor considering all aspects (originality, high scientific quality and citation potential), it receives publication priority in addition to the articles assigned for the next issue.
The aim of the Turkish Journal of Pediatrics is to publish high-quality original research articles that will contribute to the international literature in the field of general pediatric health and diseases and its sub-branches. It also publishes editorial opinions, letters to the editor, reviews, case reports, book reviews, comments on previously published articles, meeting and conference proceedings, announcements, and biography. In addition to the field of child health and diseases, the journal also includes articles prepared in fields such as surgery, dentistry, public health, nutrition and dietetics, social services, human genetics, basic sciences, psychology, psychiatry, educational sciences, sociology and nursing, provided that they are related to this field. can be published.
