





Genetic blood disorder resulting in a mutation or
deletion of the genes that control globin production.
Normal hemoglobin is composed of 2 alpha and 2
beta globins
Mutations in a given globin gene can cause a
decrease in production of that globin, resulting in
deficiency
aggregates become oxidized  damage the cell
membrane, leading either to hemolysis, ineffective
erythropoiesis, or both.
2 types of thalassemia: alpha and beta.




The thalassemia gene may be maintained in the
human population, in part because of the
greater immunity of heterozygous individuals
against malaria and is found in parts of the
world where malaria is common
These include Southeast Asia, China, India,
Africa, and parts of the Mediterranean.






mutation of 1 or more of the 4 alpha globin
genes on chromosome 16
severity of disease depends on number of
genes affected
results in an excess of beta globins



3 functional alpha globin genes
No symptoms, but thalassemia could
potentially appear in offspring





2 functional globin genes
results in smaller blood cells that are lighter in
colour
no serious symptoms, except slight anemia







1 functional globin gene
results in very lightly coloured red blood cells
and possible severe anemia
hemoglobin H is susceptible to oxidation,
therefore oxidant drugs and foods are avoided
treated with folate to aid blood cell production



no functional globin genes
death before birth (embryonic
lethality)





mutations on chromosome 11
hundreds of mutations possible in the beta
globin gene, therefore beta thalassemia is more
diverse
results in excess of alpha globins





slight lack of beta globin
smaller red blood cells that are lighter in colour
due to lack of hemoglobin
no major symptoms except slight anemia







lack of beta globin is more significant
bony deformities due to bone marrow trying to
make more blood cells to replace defective ones
causes late development, exercise intolerance, and
high levels of iron in blood due to reabsorption in
the GI tract
if unable to maintain hemoglobin levels between 6
gm/dl – 7 gm/dl, transfusion or splenectomy is
recommended





complete absence of beta globin
enlarged spleen, lightly coloured blood cells
severe anemia
chronic transfusions required, in conjunction
with chelation therapy to reduce iron
(desferoxamine)


Bone Marrow Transplants







Replacing patient’s marrow with donor marrow
First performed on thalassemia patient in 1981
Difficult, because donor must be exact match for
recipient
Even a sibling would only have a 1 in 4 chance of
being a donor

Cord Blood Transplants



Rich in stem cells
Also needs to be an exact match
