Based on your genetics, your genetic predisposition for Beta Thalassemia is

Negative

Positive

What does this mean?

Your genotype indicates that you do not carry the genetic mutation of beta thalassemia.

How Is Your Genetic Risk Calculated?

This result is based on the SNPs(single nucleotide polymorphism)that are associated with Beta Thalassemia.

What is Beta Thalassemia?

Beta thalassemia is a common hereditary blood related genetic disorder that reduced or causes total absence of the synthesis of beta globin chains, part of the hemoglobin (Hb). Defect in beta globin (HBB) genes leads to reduced Hb, decreased red blood cell production and anemia (condition of low hemoglobin).

Types of Beta Thalassemia and Its Symptoms

Thalassemia major: Severe microcytic and hypochromic anemia. Often requiring regular RBC transfusions for survival.

Thalassemia intermedia: Moderate anemia and does not require regular transfusions. However, individuals are still affected by complication such as hypertrophy (excessive development of an organ or part) of erythroid marrow with medullary (bone marrow) and extramedullary haematopoiesis.

Thalassemia minor: Usually clinically asymptomatic but some may have moderate anemia.

Possible Inheritance Modes for Beta Thalassemia

There is one inheritance mode of Beta Thalassemia. Inheritance mode is how a gene will be passed down from parent to offspring.

Autosomal Recessive

The mutated gene is a recessive gene located on one of the non-sex chromosomes (autosomes). You can get the disease if inheritance both copies of abnormal mutation from your parent.
