Couples with alpha or beta thalassemia face the risk of having a child with severe thalassemia if both partners are carriers of the gene. During pregnancy, genetic counseling and screening are crucial to assess the risk of the fetus inheriting the disorder. If both parents are carriers, there is a 25% chance with each pregnancy that their child will have a more severe form of thalassemia, which can lead to serious health complications. This necessitates careful monitoring and potential treatment options throughout the pregnancy.
