Thalassemia
Can mild thalassemia be a major thalassemia?
No. A minor form of the blood disorder thalassemia is when you inherited just one beta thalassemia gene, along with a normal beta-chain gene. This manifests as mild anaemia with a slight lowering of the hemoglobin level in the blood. No treatment is require. By contrast, a thalassemia major, also known as Cooley's Disease, is when one is born with two genes for beta thalassemia and no normal beta-chain gene. This is a serious disorder.

I am a thalassemia patient.i have to transfuse blood regulerly and im doin very well..my bf is goin to check for thalassemia...if he is a thala carrier and if we marry will we have a child like me?
If you have Thalassemia major but your boyfriend is not a carrier then the child will be born a healthy carrier (thalassemia minor) but shouldn't need blood transfusions. If your boyfriend is a carrier then you would have a 50% chance of having a child with thalassemia major like you do.
