A member asked:

Following how much time does the child suffering from thalassemia major show symptoms of disease after birth?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

9-12 months old: Children with beta-thalassemia major usually demonstrate no initial symptoms until the later part of the first year of life (when beta chains are needed to pair with Alpha chains to form hemoglobin (hb) a, after gamma chains production is turned off).
