    106

    In thalassemia minor or thalassemia trait (heterozygous thalassemia), also called alpha-thalassemia, there is an imbalance in the production of the alpha chain of amino acids.

    107

    Although both alpha and beta thalassemias affect hemoglobin, these diseases affect the body in distinctly different ways.

    108

    Individuals inherit from each parent a gene controlling alpha globin production.

    109

    Two spots (called loci) on these genes control alpha globin production.

    Both alpha and beta thalassemia have been described in individuals of almost every ancestry, but the conditions are more common among certain ethnic groups.

    116

    Determining the prevalence for alpha thalassemia is difficult due to limitations in diagnostic testing.

    117

    In the United States, up to 30 percent of African Americans are thought to be carriers for alpha thalassemia traits, meaning that they show no symptoms of the disorder but can pass the trait to their offspring.

    118

    Alpha globin is also a component of fetal hemoglobin.

    124

    Since there are four genes (instead of the usual two) to consider when looking at alpha globin gene inheritance, there are several alpha globin types that are possible.

    125

    Absence of one functioning alpha globin gene leads to a condition known as silent alpha thalassemia trait.

    126

    Hemoglobin H symptoms can also be a part of a unique condition called alpha thalassemia mental retardation syndrome.

    127

    This syndrome can be caused by a deletion of a significant amount of chromosome 16, affecting the alpha globin genes.

    128

    Alpha thalassemia major results from the deletion of all four alpha globin genes, such that there are no functioning alpha globin genes.

    129

    In this situation, there is a 25 percent chance for alpha thalassemia major in each of such a couple's children.

    130

    Because alpha globin is a necessary component of hemoglobin, absence of all functioning alpha globin genes leads to serious medical consequences that begin even before birth.
