some ques about thalassemia major
Andy Battaglia:
Hi Jonathan,
Shikha brought up an interesting possibility. HbE beta thal manifests anywhere from intermedia to major symptoms, so it is possible in your case. However, HbE is prevalent in Indians and eastern Asians. Do you have an Asian ethnic background? Another possibility is beta thalassemia coinciding with alpha thal trait. Alpha thal trait can moderate beta thal, resulting in a less severe condition.
Proper testing can determine your state.
