Description and Extensions
- Description
- NCI2016_02D:An inherited blood disorder characterized by a decreased synthesis of one of the polypeptide chains that form hemoglobin. Anemia results from this abnormal hemoglobin formation.|MSH2017_2016_08_12:A group of hereditary hemolytic anemias in which there is decreased synthesis of one or more hemoglobin polypeptide chains. There are several genetic types with clinical pictures ranging from barely detectable hematologic abnormality to severe and fatal anemia.|MEDLINEPLUS_20151021:<p>Thalassemias are inherited blood disorders. If you have one, your body makes fewer healthy red blood cells and less hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is a protein that carries oxygen to the body. That leads to <a href='https://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/anemia.html'>anemia</a>. Thalassemias occur most often among people of Italian, Greek, Middle Eastern, Southern Asian, and African descent.</p> <p>Thalassemias can be mild or severe. Some people have no symptoms or mild anemia. The most common severe type in the United States is called Cooley's anemia. It usually appears during the first two years of life. People with it may have severe anemia, slowed growth and delayed puberty, and problems with the spleen, liver, heart, or bones.</p> <p>Doctors diagnose thalassemias using blood tests. Treatments include blood transfusions and treatment to remove excess iron from the body. If you have mild symptoms or no symptoms, you may not need treatment. In some severe cases, you may need a bone marrow transplant.</p> <p >NIH: National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute</p>|CSP2006:heterogeneous group of hereditary hemolytic anemias which have in common a decreased rate of synthesis of one or more hemoglobin polypeptide chains.|CHV2011_02:An inherited form of anemia|CHV2011_02:An inherited form of anemia|CHV2011_02:An inherited form of anemia|CHV2011_02:An inherited form of anemia|CHV2011_02:An inherited form of anemia|CHV2011_02:An inherited form of anemia
