My daughter has alpha thalassemia and I'm trying to get a better understanding of this.
3.
Hb H usually occurs in some alpha thalassemia and is composed of four beta globin ( protein ) chains.
4.
Normal people have four genes that make protein chains essential to hemoglobin, but people with alpha thalassemia lack one or two.
5.
Severely anemic fetuses, including those with Rh disease and alpha thalassemia major, can be treated with blood transfusions while still in the womb.
6.
He learned there were only about 100 boys with the X-linked Alpha Thalassemia Mental Retardation Syndrome scattered around the globe with no way to communicate.
7.
If the genes for alpha chains is mutated, the most common condition that occurs is alpha thalassemia, which causes a decrease in production of that gene.
8.
Alpha thalassemias result from deletions of each of the alpha genes as well as deletions of both HBA2 and HBA1; some nondeletion alpha thalassemias have also been reported.

He said the study of more than 900 children on a southwestern Pacific island where both alpha thalassemia and malaria were common could potentially point to new approaches for treating malaria.
