Thalassemia--THAI-a21.9-alpha2.4Different types of deletional alpha-thalassemia (alpha-thal) have been reported by researchers in China. This study describes one family carrying-alpha21.9 (NG_000006.1: g.14373_36299delinsGGGAAGGGTGGGTGGGAA TAACAGCTTTT),-alpha2.4 (NG_000006.1: g.36860_39251del...
In this study we determined the relationship between the value of MCV/MCH and the type and severity of mutations in alpha thalassemia carriers.Methods and Materials: The major abnormality in alpha thalassemia carriers is decreased values of MCV and MCH. A total of 104 adult alpha thalassemia ...
Patients do not manifest any signs of Thalassemia in case of only one mutated gene. However, a carrier of the disorder can pass the gene on to children. The signs are mild in case of two mutated genes. This form of the disorder may be referred to as Alpha- Thalassemia minor. Patients ...
Thalassemia is an inherited blood disorder characterized by an abnormal production of hemoglobin. Specifically, there are genetic mutations that change the way the body makes the alpha and beta protein chains that make up hemoglobin. Alpha thalassemias are blood disorders that develop if one or more...

. Hereditary disorders create abnormal hemoglobin and can shorten the life span of the red blood cell and lead to anemia (for example,sickle cell disease). Hereditary disorders can also cause anemia by impairing the production of normal hemoglobin (for example, alphathalassemiaandbeta thalassemia)....

Any process that can disrupt the normal life span of a red blood cell may cause anemia. The normal life span of a red blood cell is typically around 120 days.Red blood cellsare made in the bone marrow. Anemia is caused essentially through two basic pathways. Anemia is caused by either:...
of thalassemia, there is misproduction in alpha or beta chains. “In cases where only one of the parents is a carrier of thalassemia, you may develop the disease called thalassemia minor. In such cases, no symptoms as such will be seen. However, some people might experience minor symptoms....
Thalassemia gene carriers can be diagnosed by molecular biology in order to conduct effective guidance for fertility. Designs and methods For --SEA and --THAI of α-thalassemia and HPFH-SEA and DBT of β-thalassemia, we design the fGap-PCR primer; for αCSα, αQSα and αWSα, we ...
