  • Alpha Thalassemia - All You Need to Know - Hematology Playlist...
    Alpha thalassemia is common in Africa, Asia, and the Mediterranean.
    A defect in the alpha globin chain synthesis.
    There are four genes responsible for the production of alpha chains.
    The higher the number of genes deleted, the worse the symptoms.

    Globin chain synthesis unbalanced - dec globin - dec Hb - dec RBCs - Anemia.
    Also hemotetramers form (water insoluble) - ptt in RBCs - spleen destroys them early so hemolysis سبب التكسير اهو - BM tries to compensate & make new RBCs but the globin is always defective so defectine erythropoiesis.

    1 Quick question: I was under the impression that "Alpha Thalassemia minor" and "Alpha thalassemia trait" is same thing with 2 out of 4 genes missing or mutated. Shouldn't missing 1 gene/locus be called a "silent carrier"?

      JennyMay Ashley I know how you feel. At first I feel like I have no energy, but that’s completely normal for a person who has this disorder. What I did to recover my energy is firstly I had to get blood transfusion, and everyday I have to take this medicine called “folic acid.” Apparently it’s suppose to help my blood or something, but there are other options to recover your strength either by eating a lot of greens, meaning in like vegetables, I ate spinach the most. Or you can exercise, and go to bed pretty early. This what I did to recover my energy. But if you do feel you have no energy, don’t hesitate to sit down and take a breather, that always help me out.

      In previous videos you said that in iron deficient conditions, the RBC will become small due to:
      1.They are waiting for iron
      2.They shrink the volume to make the Hb look bigger
      Is Thalassemia the same case?

      I'm still in my studies and not a professional, but, I can see that there are 2 possible outcomes, these are: (a-/a-) or (aa/a-)
      The first being (a-/a-) being known as a+ homozygote and the other one (aa/a-) being known as a+ hetrozygote.
      [(a-/a-) a+ homozygote] may result in mild microcytic anaemia.
      [(aa/a-) a+ hetrozygote] will normally be harmless to the individual and cause no haematological abnormality but they are still a silent carrier of the mutation.
      Again, i'm no professional yet but that's what I think, if you're concerned it is advisable to seek help from a professional

    I thought there is no alpha thalas minor. 1 locus will classified as silent carier, 2 loci thalas trait, and next straight to hbh and hb bart?

      Good question...It depends on the type of the test, the lab itself, and how the doctor orders it...For example, if it STAT, which means as soon as possible (e.g. within hours)...So, talk to your doctor and ask about that!
