Any of a group of inherited disorders in which the amount of hemoglobin in the blood is reduced
A condition caused by a defect that affects the amount of hemoglobin produced It is characterized by a reduction in or absence of the alpha (alpha-thalassemia) and/or beta (beta-thalassemia) globin chains that make up the hemoglobin molecule
{i} disease of the blood
A group of anemias that are passed on in genetic material; from family member to other family members
an inherited blood disorder in which the chains of the hemoglobin (a type of protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen to the tissues) molecule are abnormal; alpha thalassemia is where a mutation occurs in the alpha chain, while beta thalassemia is where the mutation occurs in the beta chain; signs and symptoms of thalassemias vary from mild (little to no symptoms) to severe (life threatening)
A heritable disorder characterized by a reduced rate of synthesis of > one of the globin chains of hemoglobin The imbalance in globin chain production leads to precipitation of the excess chains, lowered hemoglobin levels (anemia), & reduced red blood cell survival In alpha or beta thalassemia there is a deficiency of the alpha or beta globin chains resp Absence of a chain is designated as alpha 0 or beta 0, resp , decreased synthesis of a chain is designated as alpha+ or beta+, resp Homozygotes, with alpha 0 thalassemia exhibit a syndrome called Hydrops fetalis in which death occurs prior to or shortly after birth The homozygous condition is known as thalassemia major & the heterozygous condition is known as thalassemia minor
an inherited form of anemia caused by faulty synthesis of hemoglobin
