Beta thalassemia: is a genetic disorder that results in low production of beta hemoglobin. Red cells contain hemoglobin to carry oxygen to our tissues. In adults hemoglobin is a complex of alpha and beta hemoglobin. Beta thallassemia results in anemia, but the severity may vary in different patients depending on the whether one or both copies of the gene are mutated.
