thalassemia , auch: thalassaemia BrE

Mild thalassemia, the most common form, does not need treatment.

The levels can be normal to increased in beta thalassemia.

If all four genes are missing: This is called alpha thalassemia major.

Thalassemia is inherited, passed on through genes from parent to child.

He handles many important activities, one of them is getting people to donate blood for children with thalassemia.

The organization pays for research on thalassemia, a genetic blood disorder.

Severe thalassemia can cause early death due to heart failure a, usually between ages 20 and 30.

Less severe forms of thalassemia usually do not result in a shorter life span.

Very rare forms of thalassemia may cause organ damage that can result in death.

However, thalassemia itself can be a serious disease.

It is the statewide provider of Thalassemia services, for both children and adult populations.

In thalassemia, the disease is caused by the weakening and destruction of red blood cells.

There are an estimated 60-80 million people in the world carrying the beta thalassemia trait alone.

Infection: people with thalassemia have an increased risk of infection.

Puberty also may be delayed in children with thalassemia.

Thalassemia minor is not always actively treated, rather frequently monitored.

Both alpha and beta thalassemia include the following two forms:

You must inherit the defective gene from both parents to develop thalassemia major.

When both genes are damaged, it means you got a thalassemia gene from each parent.

If you learn that you have thalassemia, your family members should to talk to their doctors about testing.

Thalassemia, a genetic disease, can be mild or severe.

The department has got 275 registered patients suffering from Thalassemia, a hereditary blood disorder.

A thalassemia testing camp was started in places.

The other case involved children with beta thalassemia, a genetic disease involving iron storage.

The story begins with the patients, children and young people with thalassemia, a rare blood disorder.
