Patient's question:
Hello, how is thalassemia treated? Are there any good methods for treatment? Please give some advice to the doctor.Doctor's answer:
Thalassemia is a highly heterogeneous syndrome caused by various mutations in the organization and structure of the globin gene, leading to partial (α”, less) or complete (α”, p liver dysfunction) impairment of gene expression, resulting in the reduced or absent synthesis of one or more normal globin chains. The clinical manifestations of different types of thalassemia vary greatly, with the most severe cases dying before birth, while the mildest cases may remain anemic-free and asymptomatic throughout their lives.
