MCQ Hematology Answer 24

The Correct Answer is A

Explanation:

In the general classification schema, thalassemias can be classified as disorders of quantitative abnormalities of hemoglobin, wherein the morbidity of the disease is usually a result of the excess globin chains of the unaffected gene (e.g., [agr ]-thalassemia results in decreased [agr ] chains and excess β chains, with the precipitated excess β chains causing the problems). Hemoglobinopathies (e.g., hemoglobin SS, SC) are qualitative abnormalities of the hemoglobin chains usually as a result of point gene mutations.

Thalassemias are generally inherited, but acquired cases have been reported.
