I knew that I have this trait but loved a girl who was incidently found to be a carrier when she got prgnant after our marriage. Any we got a haematologist's cosult and on his prescription my wife went under investigation for baby in her womb. And with 3rd baby al-hamdu-li-Allah all are normal for tests and one boy 7years and a girl 2years are active and healthy. Third one to be born in feb. 2005. Inshallah. I think this should be kept in mind that woman has to go under painful procedures and if Allah forbid baby is abnormal(ie Thalassemia Major) he or she has to be terminated before 12 week of gestational age to avoid the misserable life later on.For that you ought to be bold if you dare to marry. Happy marriage.

What is the difference between thalassemia and sickle cell anemia?

How can you tell if someone is a carrier?
If their genotype contains both a dominant and a recessive allele for a trait.
What is sense of homour?

What is difference between a dominant trait and a recessive trait?
A recessive trait is a trait that is not shown or expressed physically but is retained within the persons genes, whereas a dominant trait is a trait which opresses the recessive trait and is prodominantly shown or expressed physically. For example it is possible for two red-haired parents, both with recessive dark haired genes, to have a dark haired child. they must both have the recessive gene or the dominant gene of red - hair will be expressed in the child
What are the causes of thalassemia?
All types of thalassemias are recessively inherited, meaning that a genetic change must be inherited from both the mother and the father. The severity of the disease is influenced by the exact thalassemia mutations inherited, as well as.

Both of the alleles must be recessive. The trait expressed is a recessive trait.
