Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Barts (g4) hemoglobin is present at birth in all forms of a-thalassemia. Hb H inclusions, anemia, and microcytic red cells are not found in all forms.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Hb H disease occurs when three genes are missing for a globin chain synthesis and an excess of b chains (b4), which is named Hb H, is present and easily detectable. A mild to moderate anemia is present. These individuals are primarily of Asian ethnicity.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
