Delta-beta thalassaemia - what does this mean
Delta-beta thalassaemia is a type of thalassaemia caused by a genetic mutation that affects the production of haemoglobin, leading to anemia. it is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern, meaning that both parents must carry the gene for the condition to be passed on to their child. symptoms include fatigue, poor growth, pale skin, and dark circles under the eyes. treatment involves regular blood transfusions and iron chelation therapy.
What happens during the disease - delta-beta thalassaemia
Delta-beta thalassaemia is a genetic disorder caused by mutations in the beta globin gene, resulting in a defect in the production of the beta globin protein. this defect leads to an insufficient amount of haemoglobin in the body, leading to a wide range of symptoms such as fatigue, paleness, jaundice, and an enlarged spleen. the primary cause of the disorder is a deficiency of the beta globin protein, which in turn leads to the inability of the body to produce enough red blood cells, resulting in anemia.
