Answer to Question 2
One of several types of mutations in the gene results in failure to produce normal amounts of -globin chains. The -thalassemias are divided into two types, a homozygous disease called thalassemia major, and a heterogeneous one, called thalassemia minor.
Heterozygous -thalassemia may be caused by inheritance of one thalassemia gene, either 1 or 0 . The other gene directing -chain production is normal and RBC survival is not shortened.
About 1 of African Americans are affected. It is common in individuals of Mediterranean and Arabic descent.
