Homozygous G gamma delta beta thalassaemia

Clinical and Laboratory Haematology
J H MatthewsW G Wood

Abstract

This report describes the clinical and haematological findings in three siblings homozygous for G gamma delta beta thalassaemia in an Indian family. There was a mild to moderate anaemia and markedly abnormal red cell morphology. Haemoglobin analysis showed 100% Hb F, solely of the G gamma type, with a pancellular but uneven distribution. Considerable chain imbalance was detectable in globin synthesis studies. In contrast to five previously reported cases, these children were essentially asymptomatic and have never required transfusions.

Anemia

Anemia develops when your blood lacks enough healthy red blood cells. Anemia of inflammation (AI, also called anemia of chronic disease) is a common, typically normocytic, normochromic anemia that is caused by an underlying inflammatory disease. Here is the latest research on anemia.
