Dr. Ashish Dixit on Blood woes: Low haemoglobin levels can indicate thalassemia | Happiest Health
People With Low Haemoglobin Levels Might Suffer from HbH Thalassemia
HbH Thalassemia is a blood disorder caused by gene mutations in the body. The mutations in haemoglobin, which are present in the 16th chromosome of DNA, give rise to this disease. Hence, doctors suggest that couples with a family history do genetic testing before planning a family. However, as Dr Ashish Dixit, a Consultant in Haematology from Manipal Hospital, Bengaluru, says, that, “For a child to inherit HbH, it is necessary for both parents to carry mutated genes. The presence of those genes in any one parent doesn’t create risk." He also says that people with low haemoglobin levels are likely to suffer from this disease. Hence, regular checkups, and awareness are necessary to fight this problem.
