Thalassemia

Sushmitha Thode

Thalassemia is an autosomal recessively inherited blood disorder which results from alteration in the rate of globin chain production which impedes normal heamoglobin synthesis. Thalassemia is caused by mutations in the DNA of cells that make heamoglobin-the substance in red blood cells that carries oxygen throughout your body. The mutations associated with thalassemia are passed from parents to children.
