Detailed explanation-1: -Transfusion-dependent -thalassemia (TDT) is a severe genetic disease caused by mutations in the HBB gene that lead to impaired or absent -globin production, which affects the production of healthy red blood cells [1]. The incidence and prevalence of -thalassemia vary across geographic regions.
