• Beta Thalassaemia Major

  The most common is beta thalassaemia major. A child born with beta thalassaemia major appears well at first, because the baby still has a store of fetal haemoglobin in its blood. [healthtalk.org]

  There are different types of thalassaemia, which can be divided into alpha and beta thalassaemias. Beta thalassaemia major is the most severe type. Other types include beta thalassaemia intermedia, alpha thalassaemia major and haemoglobin H disease. [nhs.uk]

  An abnormally enlarged spleen (splenomegaly) can cause severe pain and contribute to anemia. Splenomegaly can cause low levels of the blood cells (platelets) that allow the blood to clot. [rarediseases.org]

• Asymptomatic

  The other reason is that Hb E disease is mostly asymptomatic; therefore, its association with tuberculosis may not be revealed. [ijpmonline.org]

  Thalassemia minor is clinically asymptomatic but some subjects may have moderate anemia. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  The resultant microcytic anemia is the characteristic presenting symptom of the thalassemias. [radiopaedia.org]

  Doubly heterozygous HbO/ Thalassemia also is associated with a relatively severe microcytic anemia with a hemoglobin as low as 6 g/dl. [wardelab.com]

  Consequently, affected individuals do not receive enough oxygen-rich blood (microcytic anemia) throughout the body. Affected individuals may experience classic signs of anemia including fatigue, weakness, shortness of breath, dizziness or headaches. [rarediseases.org]

• Heinz Bodies

  The Heinz Bodies are seen as antigenic and are quickly phagocytosed. Because the Heinz Bodies are derivatives of hemoglobin, they are located inside the cell, and thus phagocytosis takes a significant “bite” out of the cell. [theartofmed.wordpress.com]

  These inclusions are called Heinz bodies and represent β-chain tetramers (HbH). [patient.info]

  Furthermore, the beta-globin chains are capable of forming soluble tetramers (β 4, or hemoglobin H [HbH]); yet this form of hemoglobin is unstable and tends to precipitate within the cell, forming insoluble inclusions (Heinz bodies) that damage the red [emedicine.medscape.com]

  The high gene frequency of beta-thalassemia in these regions is most likely related to the selective pressure from Plasmodium falciparum malaria [ 1 ]. [ojrd.biomedcentral.com]
