thalassemia

The anemia is caused by a genetic condition called thalassemia, which has been verified by genetic tests.

Sickle cell, beta thalassemia and a rogue's gallery of other blood diseases are in my future.

It took years for me to be diagnosed with thalassemia when my GP found some of my blood results suspicious.

Does anyone who's more familiar with exactly how this works know if this could be applied or potentially applied to thalassemia?

Many immigrants from South Asia have thalassemia or hemoglobin disorders selected for antimalarial efficiency.

I and my immediately family, all of suffer from forms of Thalassemia ranging from mild, to severe.

No problems really..never knew I had it until I was told I had thalassemia trait as part of genetic testing.

I have a form called Beta Thalassemia Minor, if it affects my immune system.

I have natural persistence of fetal hemoglobin which counteracts my inherited thalassemia trait.

So there are already trials of base editing under way in sickle-cell disease, as well as high cholesterol that runs in families and the blood disorder beta-thalassemia.

Wonder what impact that could eventually have on people with Sickle Cell or Beta thalassemia (or the rare case that hits the genetic jackpot and has both).

For example, I successfully diagnosed my own anemia disorder (thalassemia) this way.

However, under MedFuzz, an “attacker” LLM repeatedly modifies the question—adding information like low-income status, a sibling with alpha-thalassemia, or the use of herbal remedies—none of which should change the actual diagnosis.

Even if you accept your changed definition as "coercive or state-enforced policies aimed at improving the gene pool", then laws against incest and mandatory genetic screening aimed at identifying cousins and thalassemia in Iceland, Cyprus, and Iran, are also eugenics.

Physicians running the trial claim that these diseases are basically cured in some patients: “I am encouraged by the preliminary results, which demonstrate, in essence, a functional cure for patients with beta thalassemia and sickle cell disease.” This is just the beginning.

If I click on "increased risk," I get: valley fever, muscular dystrophy, hemolytic anemia, intracranial abscess, thalassemia, gallbladder cancer, polycythemia vera, and autonomic nervous system disorder.

The relative isolationism of T/C as well as the high (recessive) Thalassemia, means T/C marry outside their villages quote often.

Reminded me that I know quite a few people with Thalassemia/Mediterranean anemia.
