Objective: To conclude the association in average serum ferritins levels along with average Levels of serum TSH levels in beta-thalassemia major patient is the purpose of the research. Material and Methods: The mode of the research was cross-sectional and it was completed at Allied Hospital Faisalabad in the time frame of March to October 2017. The number of a beta thalassemia major patient enrolled for research were sixty-six as well as researcher judge the association in both the levels (average serum ferritins & average serum TSH). Results: The age of the entire patients was almost five to eleven years along with five to ten years average time span of blood transfusion, average serum TSH levels was in between (1.5257 to 6.0895 μIU/ml), average serum ferrite levels was in between (3086.015 to 3089.265 ng/dl). The researcher reported negative association in both the levels (average serum ferritins levels & average serum TSH levels) and that was statistically inconsiderable (p-value is equal to 0.911 and r-value is equal to “- 0.014”). Conclusion:The finding of the research disclosed that there is a negative association in both the levels (average serum ferritins levels & average serum TSH levels) and that was statistically inconsiderable. Findings of the research also presented negligible variations, noticed in both the levels (average serum ferritins & average serum TSH) of men along with women patients. Keywords: Average serum Ferritins, Average Serum TSH, Beta-Thalassemia and Gene
