Egnat, I'm so sorry to hear this! Does this mean you or other members of your family are also carriers? I knew nothing about Beta Thalassemia so have been looking it up on Google & I can now understand just how devastating this must be for you! I have found some useful sites that may or may not be of help to you & any other Buzzers who are interested in knowing more:
What is Beta Thalassemia?
A Jewish Hereditary Genetic Research Project
The Beta Thalassemia Project
Please keep us informed & remember that we're here for you. (((HUGS)))
Thanks Venus, this is really interesting, never really knew what Beta Thalassemia was.
Egnat our thoughts are with you and your daughter. As Venus said please keep us informed.
