Thalassaemia is a genetic blood disorder inherited from both parents. The amount of haemoglobin produced by the body is reduced.
Regular blood transfusions and iron chelation is required for the survival of patients with thalassaemia. Although, bone marrow transplant via the use of sibling donors has been successful with some thalassaemia patients, there is no other known cure.
