KEGG   DISEASE: Thalassemia
Entry
H00228                      Disease                                
Name
Thalassemia
  Subgroup
Alpha Thalassemia
Beta Thalassemia
Alpha Thalassemia, X-linked (ATRX) [DS:H01752]
Description
Thalassemia is the most common hereditary blood disease caused by mutation of genes encoding hemoglobin alpha and beta chains. The anemia that is associated with thalassemia is caused by ineffective erythropoiesis which results from apoptosis of erythroid precursors or hemolysis due to the chain imbalances.
