Individuals
with Thalassaemia trait are sometimes unaware that they are carrying
disease as they are perfectly healthy and appear as normal as everyone
else. However. they can pass Thalassaemia major (full-blown version of
the disease) to their children.
If two people
carry the trait for the same genetic type of Thalassaemia and have a
child, there is a 25% chance in each pregnancy that the child will
inherit a serious blood disease (thalassaemia major) .
Screening
for Thalassaemia
Even if there
is no history of Thalassaemia in your family, it's no guarantee that
your are not a carrier. Only with a Thalassaemia screen test are you
able to know for sure. Ideally, every couple should be tested for
Thalassaemia before they get married or have children.
