He said that their published findings relate to anemia that was mild, persistent but not linked to any specific cause. Thalassemia did not surface in this study and he would suspect that this co-occurrence of Parkinson's disease and Thalassemia is coincidental. Of course, you should always contact your physicians with any questions. If you'd like to request an appointment at Mayo Clinic, you can call: Arizona: 480-422-1646 Florida: 904-494-6487 Minnesota: 888-509-8773 Thanks for your comment.
