thalassaemia
Thalassaemia is a group of inherited blood disorders characterized by abnormal formation of haemoglobin, the iron-containing protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen throughout the body. There are two main types, alpha and beta thalassaemia, and several subtypes. If left untreated, it can cause severe anaemia, which can make it harder for the body to get enough oxygen. Symptoms can range from mild to severe and can include fatigue, weakness, pale skin, and slow growth. Treatment can involve regular blood transfusions and medications. In severe cases, a bone marrow transplant may be needed.
