Is there an effective hormone replacement therapy for alpha thalassemia?

No: There is no hormone therapy for Alpha thalassemia. Transfusions are the only effective treatment, and are given if a person's anemia is severe enough. For the mildly anemic, no treatment is needed.

Not that I know of: Optimal testosterone levels can promote optimal hematopoeisis (manufacturing of new red blood cells in the bone marrow). Folic acid, especially a good methylated form of it, might help.
