What else can I help you with?
Is thalassemia a type of cancer?
Thalassemia is an autosmal recessive blood disease. That means that it is an inherited disease. Thalassemia in more common in Mediteranian people.
Can you have both alpha thalassemia and beta thalassemia?
Of coare yes. You can get any hemoglobinopathy from a parent without any connection to other hemoglobinopathy (or any other hereditary disease) from the other parent. Prof. Kornfeld Pal
Is thalassemia a type of blood cancer?
No, thalassemia is not a type of blood cancer. It is an inherited blood disorder that affects the production of hemoglobin, which can lead to anemia and other complications. Blood cancers, such as leukemia, lymphoma, and myeloma, involve the uncontrolled growth of abnormal blood cells.
Which system is related with thelesemia disease?
The thalassemia disease is related to the hematological system, specifically affecting the production of hemoglobin in the blood. Thalassemia results in the body's inability to produce enough healthy red blood cells, leading to anemia and other complications.
What is a blood disease?
Examples: anemia, hemophilia, sickle-cell disease, leukemia, thalassemia, etc.
What are two inherited blood disease?
Thalassemia and sickle cell anemia.
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.
What is thalesemmia entermedia?
Thalassemia Intermedia is a recessive trait inherited disease of the red blood cells. In thalassemia, the genetic defect results in reduced rate of synthesis of normal hemoglobin chains.
What is the Life span for hemoglobin SC disease or hemoglobin S beta thalassemia?
4 months
What are other names for scurvy?
lime disease
What are other names for hyperthyroidism?
Other names for hyperthyroidism, or specific diseases within the category, include Graves' disease, diffuse toxic goiter, Basedow's disease, Parry's disease, and thyrotoxicosis.
Can Thalassemia prevent Malaria?
Thalassemia itself does not prevent malaria, but individuals with thalassemia trait or certain forms of thalassemia may have a degree of protection against severe malaria due to the altered shape and function of their red blood cells. This change can make it more difficult for the malaria parasite to survive and reproduce. Consequently, while thalassemia does not prevent malaria infection, it can potentially reduce the severity of the disease in affected individuals.
