- One of the causes of thalassaemia is genetic mutations that affect haemoglobin production.
- It can be categorised as alpha and beta thalassaemia, based on the affected haemoglobin chain.
- Beta-thalassaemia major is a form that manifests in infancy, presents with the anaemia, and thereby requires lifelong transfusions.
