Keep Smiling ,
Yes, Thalassemia is an inherited blood disease ... and there is No other way/reason of it ...
Quote
Inheritance of Thalassemia refers to whether the condition is inherited from your parents or "runs" in families. The level of inheritance of a condition depends on how important genetics are to the disease

Quote
What causes thalassemia?
A defect in one or more genes causes thalassemia. It is an inherited blood disorder, passed from parent to child. Both parents must carry a gene for the disease in order to pass it to their child.
