KILLER DISEASE ' THALASSEMIA '


Thalassemia are forms of inherited ' Autosomal recessive blood disorders ' that originated in the Mediterranean regions.
Due to Thalassemia hemoglobin production greatly hampers leading to acute ANEMIA.
Thalassemia can cause significant complications, including iron overload, bone deformities and cardiovascular illness. However this same inherited disease of red blood cells may confer a degree of protection against MALARIA, which is or was prevalent in the regions where the trait is common. This selective survival advantage on carriers (known as HETEROZYGOUS advantage) may be responsible for perpetuating the mutation in populations.







Mainly Thalasemia is two types :-


  • Alpha Thalassemia
and
  • Beta Thalassemia .


Symptoms :: 

A:) Thalassemia (Major) ::-

All Symtoms are found from six (6) months to two (2) years ago.

iii) Cold and flue , iv) Hemoglobin contain of blood less than 5mg / 100 ml , v) Hepatitis and yellow urine formation .

B:) Thalassemia (Minor) ::-

i) Intermediate Anemia Hepatitis and yellow Urine , ii) Delated secondary SEX Characters, iii) Melalin formation nerease..


Treatment ::-

  1. Gene-theraphy,
  2. Disease can be controlled the detection of carriers before MARRIAGE,
  3. Two carriers shouldn't be allow to MARRY..
