Thanks Andy for your reply. He is healthy and very active, but he is a little pale and underweight ( nearly 16months old) about 9.5kg, and his head is a little bit small.
I am very confused about DNA analysis for Thalassemia.
- Does he have to do both DNA analysis tests like one for Beta Thalassemia and other for Alpha Thalassemia?
- Or just one single DNA analysis test can show the abnormalities of both beta and alpha-globin ?
I am afraid that he is carried both Beta and Alpha Thalassemia.
Thank you.
