If you have beta thalassemia trait and your partner has sickle cell trait there is a 25% chance of your child having sickle beta thalassemia.
Yes, Thalassemia sex is a linked trait. Ha ;)
have seen one of my friends sister had kid and all normal no complications...not thalassemia either.........beta and alpha i think there is 25% normal chance
It is unlikely.
you have a 50/50 chance me and my twin both had it and my 2 older brothers are fine 1 is a carrier and the other is not.
Thalassemia Intermedia is a recessive trait inherited disease of the red blood cells. In thalassemia, the genetic defect results in reduced rate of synthesis of normal hemoglobin chains.
i was told many years ago that i couldn't donate as I'm a beta thalassemia carrier. best to ask your local donation center.
If untreated, beta thalassemia major can lead to severe lethargy, paleness, and delays in growth and development. The body attempts to compensate by producing more blood, which is made inside the bones in the marrow.
This is a type of solubility testing for sickle cell disease. It is very specific for this disease and several combinations sickle cell / thalassemia variants but inadequate for screening and fail to identify important transmissible hemoglobin gene abnormalities - particularly in the prenatal setting when looking for those that affect fetal outcome (eg, Hb C trait, β-thalassemia trait, Hb E trait, Hb B trait, Hb D trait).
Recessive Trait
Very unlikely. Thalassemia is an inherited disease, affected persons are born with the genetic disorders. However, silent carriers (Alpha Thalassemia, 1 gene defect) or Beta Thalassemia Trait (1 gene defect), do not have significiant symptoms. Consequently, if this person did not have any relevant blood tests till the age of 20, he/she might no be aware of having the condition. That's only a hypothetical suggestion.
Cooley's anemia, also known as beta-thalassemia, is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder. This means that both copies of the gene must be mutated in order for the disease to be present. It is not a sex-linked trait.
