Paper Summary:
Beta thalassemia is the more severe of the two main types of thalassemia, an inherited blood disease resulting from defective production of hemoglobin. This paper discusses how the disease develops, the types of beta thalassemia, how it is inherited, its symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment.From the Paper:
"Hemoglobin, the protein that transports oxygen in the blood, is made up of four chains of amino acids: two identical alpha chains and two identical beta chains. Thalassemia is the result of an imbalance in the production of beta chains that is caused by a mutation in the genes that direct their production. A mutation to the beta genes decreases the production of beta chains, resulting in beta thalassemia."More papers on Beta Thalassemia:
