Patient's question:
No.Doctor's answer:
If your partner is normal, the child has a 50% chance of being normal and a 50% chance of being a mild thalassemia patient like you. However, it is recommended that your partner undergo a thorough check for thalassemia, as a normal blood test does not rule out thalassemia. You should also have a hemoglobin electrophoresis and thalassemia gene test to confirm the diagnosis.
