Clinical trials: Alpha-Thalassemia
Alpha Thalassemia
Screening for Alpha Thalassemia in Healthy Volunteers
Background: Alpha thalassemia is a blood disorder. It is caused by genetic deletions. Part of the DNA is missing from a group of genes called alpha globin. Alpha thalassemias are some of the most common genetic deletions.
