A member asked:
I had leukaemia (all) 11 years ago and now have been diagnosed with alpha-thalassemia - are the two linked? i'm white british so not typical for this
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No association: Although weird that they didn't note this before. I assume you have been diagnosed with alpha thalassemia trait, not the disease.
