Abstract

TS is a varied group of genetic disorder results from reduced rate of synthesis of alpha or beta globin chains. Its inheritance
is autosomal recessive [1]. Thalassaemias are considered most prevalent genetic disorders worldwide; mostly they occur in
tropics and sub-tropics but now sporadic cases are prevalent in other regions of the globe also, mainly due to resettlements
across the continents [2, 3].
