Thalassemia is a genetic blood disorder caused by reduced or absent globin chain synthesis. There are two main types - alpha and beta thalassemia. Alpha thalassemia involves deficient alpha subunit production while beta thalassemia involves deficient beta subunit production. Complications arise from excessive erythropoiesis, chronic hemolysis, iron overload and related end organ damage, infections, and transfusion-related issues.
