Did You Know That - In a human body, out of the 23 pair of chromosomes, Beta thalassemia is caused by mutations on chromosome number 11

I really like this idea, Manal.   :happyyes

And Narendra, I really like the overall idea that you gave in the first place.   :hugfriend

:hmm

The "Basics of Thal." seems to be a nice place for it. The existing sub-board "What is Thalassemia and How is it Treated?" looks pretty lonely all by itself. :biggrin

Narendra:
Did You Know That:- Prognosis Of Thalassemia Major has changed drastically due to the use of Iron Chelator's which removes the excess iron. Patients can grow and develop normally, with relatively normal heart and liver functions. This is in contrast with the early 70s and 80s when thals were said to have a short life span. So, now if any doctor's says that your child might live only in their teens, contrast them with the updated data.

Canadian_Family:
The sub board "What is Thalassemia and How it is treated" is more comprehensive and presents the picture in one shot. The reader does not have to wander around to piece together the information to solve the puzzle.

The efficacy of the sub board is evident by the fact that it is read 4834 times (Re. Beta Thalassemia Major, Intermedia and Minor) and 593 times (Re. Thalassemia).

Narendar,

You are right, I still envy the first doctor we met in 2004 who gave us really grim picture of thalassemia. My wife resigned from a lucrative job as knee jerk reaction because of the stupidity of that doctor. She was never able to got the same paid job untill now.
