About Thalassaemia in Bengaluru
Thalassaemia is an inherited blood disorder characterized by reduced or abnormal production of hemoglobin, causing the body to destroy red blood cells faster than it can produce them and resulting in chronic anaemia. It occurs when genetic mutations disrupt the normal production of alpha or beta globin chains that make up hemoglobin. Severity ranges from a mild, symptomless trait to severe, transfusion-dependent forms requiring lifelong medical management. The condition is particularly prevalent in populations from the Mediterranean, Middle East, South Asia, and Southeast Asia.
