Thalassemia, its symptoms, and methods of treatment?

How is thalassemia transmitted?
It is transmitted from parents to children and varies, like other genetic diseases, according to inherited genetic defects. The child inherits a pair of genes, one from his mother and the other from his father. In order for the child to be born with the type of thalassemia major (beta thalassemia), the child must inherit the genetic defect of beta thalassemia from both parents This usually occurs when both parents are "carriers" of the genetic defect, also known as a genetic defect (Thalassemia trait) Thalassemia carriers do not suffer from the disease, but there is a possibility that they may have a child with the disease Thalassemia if their partner is also a carrier.
