What is the major difference between thalassemia and sickle cell anemia?
Thalassemia is a quantitative problem of too few globins synthesized, whereas sickle-cell anemia (a hemoglobinopathy) is a qualitative problem of synthesis of an incorrectly functioning globin. (wikipedia)
What are two inherited blood disease?
Thalassemia and sickle cell anemia.
You are a black female with beta thalassemia minor trait both of your children have this trait can sickle cell anemia trait partner effect their children also?
If you have beta thalassemia trait and your partner has sickle cell trait there is a 25% chance of your child having sickle beta thalassemia.
What is a blood disease?
Examples: anemia, hemophilia, sickle-cell disease, leukemia, thalassemia, etc.
What is the difference between thalassemia and sickle cell anemia?
Though Thalassemia and Sickle Cell Anemia are seemingly similar to the unknowing, a large difference remains; Thalassemia is characterized by a reduced production from one of the globin chains which make up hemoglobin while in Sickle Cell Anemia, the globin chains themselves are structurally defective.
What dieseases comes from a mutation in the hemogobin?
Sickle cell anemia and thalassemia are two diseases caused by mutation of the protein hemoglobin.
Can you donate blood if you have a thalassemia trait?
i was told many years ago that i couldn't donate as I'm a beta thalassemia carrier. best to ask your local donation center.
What are the different types of sickle cell disease and how do they differ from each other?
There are several types of sickle cell disease, including sickle cell anemia, sickle beta thalassemia, and sickle cell-hemoglobin C disease. These types differ based on the specific genetic mutations that affect the hemoglobin protein in red blood cells. Sickle cell anemia is the most common and severe form, where individuals have two copies of the sickle cell gene. Sickle beta thalassemia and sickle cell-hemoglobin C disease are milder forms that result from different combinations of genetic mutations. Symptoms and complications can vary among the different types of sickle cell disease.
What diseases is hemoglobin electrophoresis used to diagnose?
The test is used primarily to diagnose diseases involving these abnormal forms of hemoglobin, such as sickle cell anemia and thalassemia.
A mutation in the hemoglobin gene causes what disorder?
While technically there are more than one, the main one by far is sickle cell anemia.
What is a type of red blood cell disorder?
One type of red blood cell disorder is sickle cell anemia, a genetic condition in which red blood cells become rigid and sticky, leading to blockages in blood vessels and reduced oxygen delivery to tissues.
Which form of anemia is a genetic disorder?
It sounds like you are looking for Sickle Cell Anemia.
