Families with more that 1 Thal Major kids

(1/2) > >>

Pal:
I have come across many stories where a family has more than 1 thal major child. In these families, is the other affected child of the same gender? Do you know of any families with 2 boys major or 2 girls major or 1 boy 1 girl major. Andy, when you said there are some families you have known with 3 majors, are they all the same gender? I'm developing a study to understand this deeply. Your experiences will be invaluable.

Rehman:
Hi we are 2 brothers thalassemia major I'm 19 and my other brother is 15=

Andy Battaglia:
I have not seen anything that suggests they would all be the same gender. I've known many families with more than one thal and often it's both sexes. It's purely chance, just like all births.

Pal:
Anyone else with an experience? Every experience is unique and helpful, please share. Thank you.

Both boys. but 2 of my friends got 1 boy and 1 girl.
It's not necessary 1 gender.
