AI overview
Thalassemia is an inherited blood disorder that reduces the body's production of hemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen, leading to anemia and symptoms ranging from tiredness and paleness to severe complications like bone problems and organ enlargement. The severity varies widely depending on the type of thalassemia, and it can affect how quickly children grow and develop, though some people have no symptoms at all.
