Can you tell me if throughout thalassemia haemoglobin is not synthesized due to?

Different types: There are different types of thalassemia of varying severities (e.g., Alpha and beta, major and minor). Generally they are genetic conditions which impair the body's ability to produce hemoglobin, resulting in varying degrees of anemia. I hope this helps, although it's not clear what your exact question is.
