About Thalassemia
Thalassemia is a group of inherited blood disorders, in which the body makes an abnormal form or inadequate amount of hemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen. Due to the lack of hemoglobin, the red blood cells don’t function properly and last a shorter amount of time, so fewer healthy red blood cells are available to carry oxygen to the body. There are two main types of thalassemia: alpha thalassemia (caused by mutations in the HBA1 and HBA2 genes) and beta thalassemia (caused by mutations in the HBB gene), that refer to the part of hemoglobin that is not being produced, resulting in anemia. Thalassemia affects men and women equally; severe forms are usually diagnosed in early childhood and are lifelong conditions. Thalassemia is also called alpha-thalassemia major, thalassemia intermedia, Hemoglobin H-Constant Spring, Hemoglobin H Disease and Cooley’s anemia.
