Thalassemia is a hereditary blood disorder caused by mutations in the genes responsible for producing hemoglobin chains—specifically the alpha and beta chains. Hemoglobin is the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen. The severity depends on how many gene mutations are inherited. It is most common in individuals from Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and Mediterranean countries like Greece and Turkey
Inherited from parents through mutated hemoglobin genes. If both parents are carriers, the child has a high chance of developing a severe form. Symptoms usually appear in the first two years of life for moderate/severe cases. Transplanted cells begin producing healthy red blood cells within a month
