So What is Thalassemia?
Thalassemia is a genetic blood disorder that affects the production of hemoglobin, a protein in red blood stem cells that carries oxygen. Thalassemia results in reduced production of normal hemoglobin, leading to anemia (low red blood cell count), fatigue, weakness, bone deformities, jaundice, organ damage and other health complications. Thalassemia patients have to be on life-long regular blood transfusions and if they miss the doing it can be fatal.
What is the Cure for Thalassemia?
The only long-term curative option for thalassemia is bone marrow transplant where the faulty blood stem cells are replaced with healthy blood stem cells from a matching donor.
