Without regular blood transfusions, affected individuals by major beta-thalassemia typically develop severe anemia and related complications early in life, while beta-thalassemia intermedia patients would have a variable clinical course, complications, and prognosis. beta-thalassemia minor subjects would not have significant symptoms, while in some cases might have an increased risk for iron deficiency anemia. Iron overload complications happen in transfusion-dependent thalassemia.

Overview

Without regular blood transfusions, affected individuals by major beta-thalassemia typically develop severe anemia and related complications early in life, while beta-thalassemia intermedia patients would have a variable clinical course, complications, and prognosis. beta-thalassemia minor subjects would not have significant symptoms, while in some cases might have an increased risk for iron deficiency anemia. Iron overload complications happen in transfusion-dependent thalassemia.
