Thalassemia
Thalassemia is a genetically transmitted (i.e., handed from parents to offspring) blood illness that develops when the human system doesn't produce enough hemoglobin, a crucial component of the red blood cells. There are fewer healthy red blood cells moving through the bloodstream when hemoglobin levels are low because the body's red blood cells don't work effectively and live for a lesser amount of time.
