Detailed explanation-1: -What is Thalassemia? Thalassemia is an inherited (i.e., passed from parents to children through genes) blood disorder caused when the body doesn’t make enough of a protein called hemoglobin, an important part of red blood cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -People with thalassemia have fewer healthy red blood cells and less hemoglobin than normal. They may also have smaller-than-normal red blood cells. A reticulocyte count (a measure of young red blood cells) may indicate that your bone marrow isn’t producing enough red blood cells.
