Thalassemia is a genetic disorder as a result of an imbalance in the hemoglobin. In sickle cell, also a genetic disorder, the mutation cause a crescent shaped molecule.
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)
Thalassemia and sickle cell anemia.
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.
Examples: anemia, hemophilia, sickle-cell disease, leukemia, thalassemia, etc.
its optional hemophilia or sickle cell anaemia
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.
Sickle cell anemia and thalassemia are two diseases caused by mutation of the protein hemoglobin.
hemophilia is the deficiency of blood and anemia is the deficiency of red blood cells
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.
The test is used primarily to diagnose diseases involving these abnormal forms of hemoglobin, such as sickle cell anemia and thalassemia.
While technically there are more than one, the main one by far is sickle cell anemia.
many conditions. few include thalassemia, acute blood loss, sickle cell anemia, vitamin B12 or folic acid or iron deficiency, post infection anemia, hereditary spherocytosis.
