If a thalassemia major patient married a normal guy, will the thalassemia be passed down?

If the partner...: ...Has thalassemia trait or another hemoglobin disease, the child can be anemic. Otherwise the child will probably have thalassemia trait or thalassemia minor - not actually sick, but capable of having affected children with another carrier.
