Cooley S Anaemia

Cooley's Anaemia

Cooley's anemia, also known as Thalassemia, is an inherited blood disorder characterized by anemia. It is caused by a mutation in the genes responsible for the production of hemoglobin in red blood cells.

With Cooley's anemia, there is a disruption in the synthesis of one of the hemoglobin chains - the beta chain. This leads to the formation of abnormal hemoglobin, which is destroyed in red blood cells much faster than normal. As a result, the number of red blood cells and the level of hemoglobin in the blood decreases, and severe anemia develops.

Symptoms of Cooley's anemia: pale skin, weakness, shortness of breath, palpitations. Children experience slow growth and delayed puberty.

Treatment consists of regular blood transfusions and bone marrow transplants. The prognosis depends on the timeliness of therapy. Without treatment, Cooley's anemia leads to death in childhood or adolescence.

Cooley's anemia, or Cooley S anemia, is a rare genetic disease that causes low levels of hemoglobin in the blood. The disease is caused by a mutation in the gene that is responsible for the synthesis of heme. Heme is a molecule necessary for the production of hemoglobin, a protein that carries oxygen throughout the body's tissues. The mutation leads to disruption of heme synthesis, which reduces the amount of hemoglobin and leads to anemia.

Symptoms of Cooley's anemia may appear before the baby is born. Newborns with this condition may have difficulty breathing as
