Thalassemia Thalassemia is a group of genetically transmitted disorder of hemoglobin synthesis, due to lack or decreased synthesis of α or β globin chains. Types of thalassemia Depending upon whether the genetic defect lies in synthesis of α or β globin chains, thalassemia are classified into: α-thalassemia β-thalassemia respectively. α -thalassemia Synthesis of α -globin chain is defective. α -globin chains are coded by four copies of α -globin gene chromosome 16. The α -thalassemia results from genetic defect in one or more copies of α -globin genes and is characterized by either decreased or total absence of synthesis of α -globin chains. The α -thalassemia is of four types. β-thalassemia Synthesis of β-globin chain is impaired due to genetic defect in β-globin genes. β-globin chains are coded by two copies of β-globin genes chromosome 11 and is characterized by decreased or total absence of synthesis of β-globin chains. The β-thalassemia is of two types. -- β -thalassemia minor (β -thalasse­mia trait) -- β -thalassemia major
