Sickle Cell Screening Results

Patient's question:

7 months of blood tests showed anemia. At Shenzhen Children's Hospital, a thalassemia screening was conducted, showing a hemoglobin F value of 2.80.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, as you mentioned, generally, if both couples are screened and found not to carry the thalassemia gene, their children will not have the thalassemia gene. Thalassemia is a hereditary disease. If both partners of the couple are screened and found not to carry the thalassemia gene, the offspring will not carry the thalassemia gene.
