Other haemoglobinopathies - what does this mean

Other haemoglobinopathies are inherited genetic disorders caused by mutations in the genes that control the production of haemoglobin, a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen to the body's tissues. these mutations result in abnormal haemoglobin molecules that can be either unstable or unable to carry oxygen, leading to a variety of symptoms such as tiredness, shortness of breath, and an increased risk of infection.
