hemoglobin e–thalassemia syndrome
Hemoglobin E–thalassemia syndrome is an inherited blood disorder characterized by a mutation in the gene that produces hemoglobin, a protein responsible for carrying oxygen in the blood. This condition results in abnormal production of hemoglobin, leading to various symptoms such as anemia, fatigue, and may require occasional blood transfusions to manage the condition.
