  1. thalassaemia major

    Thalassaemia major, also known as Cooley's anemia, is a severe genetic blood disorder characterized by the body's inability to produce sufficient amounts of hemoglobin - the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen to all parts of the body. This results in severe anemia, insufficient growth, yellow or pale skin, dark urine, and other complications. The condition is inherited, meaning that it is passed down from parents to their children through mutations in the genes.
